A Smidgen

Give a pigeon just a smidgen

And his friends will flock to share

While each sparrow’s focus narrows,

Wond’ring if it’s worth the dare.

 

Soon a robin may come bobbin’

Though he’s just consumed a worm

Which the grackle tried to tackle,

Losing out by just a squirm.

 

Then the seagull, looking regal,

Takes a dive to catch a fish

As the finches land mere inches

From a shiny take-out dish.

 

In the city, streets are gritty

But the birds still find a meal

For the locals (and some yokels)

Leave them lots that they can steal.
