Spiking the Nest

In order to discourage birds

From building nearby nests,

Some owners place a row of spikes

To bar unwanted guests.


But crows and magpies, cleverly,

Uproot those spiky things 

And use them in the homes they make

To shelter those with wings.


The very tools that humans thought

Would keep the birds at bay,

Our feathered friends employ

To keep their enemies away.
