As I looked out the window, I saw
three wee sparrows jumping along the wall;
I think the big one is the maw
Intrigued I got nearer to see
the three wee sparrows disappear into
the hedge that’s been there for many years.
My heart was lifted at this sight
at the very thought that there just might
be little birds living in my garden,
eating the slugs and worms,
and I feel vindicated;
my laissez faire approach and lack of pesticides
has made the garden a safe place to abide
So sleep easy and eat well little birds;
your secret is safe with me
I’ll take much care when pruning your home;
seeing you there has filled my heart with glee
