Tricky Chirp
The Tricky Chirp
The nester bird comes to live,
in a nest, they did not make.
Yet... the bird,
feels right at home
and not alone at all.
The new mom seems surprised,
she can not hide it from
her eyes,
but she continues on
like any mother would.
The brand new baby is larger than the rest.
Taking all the best, and putting the whole nest to the test.
The sad secret of this new life,
this mock, "not my son" from afar...
The more you give, the more they take.
It is a bad-tasting cake.
The dark star is par for the course... and now the jar is empty.
There is no more left for those that belong,
and that is all wrong.
Eating the food, drinking the wine,
and telling the time...
to whom ever walks by
they said hi,
and not high,
or how high?
The mother bird continues,
wondering where father
has gone?
