Cardinals







She's done it again, that little thief!

She took the biggest pot.

She filled the center with grass and string.

Then sat down on the spot.



~oOo~



They each take turns at schreeching.

These Cardinals are my bane.

I know it's spring when they return

To drive me quite insane.



~oOo~



But this year I've won the battle.

Hah!  I fooled them both just right!

I planted that pot with a flower

That's the cheapest one in my sight.



~oOo~



I don't like to boast but I've beat them

At the game they play every spring.

They can have that old pot.  I don't want it.

It's not worth the ulcer they bring.



~oOo~



If I weren't so nice I would shoo them,

But the babies somehow I would miss.

I know for sure spring is coming.

When that momma bird greets with a hiss.



~oOo~
