December Dailies – Day 23 – My poetry is going to the birds.

And so there is this…

A black capped chickadee
came to town today
looking for trouble.

He is always whistlin’
hey-yo hee hee hee
while he’s stealing crumbs.

He jumped up on my car
there in his brown shirt
And grey coat, searching...

Searching for a handout.
He won’t work for food
but he’ll steal your fries.

The black capped chickadee
Came to town today...
then he flew away. 

Cheers!

Note: Revised 4/26/2021 This poem initially was about Selasphorus Rufus which turned out to be a hummingbird. My research was flawed due to a bad source so we check more than one source going forward.

On another note, Black-Capped Chickadees can be found pretty much all over the Pacific Northwest stealing crumbs and being curious.
