Here is another whimsical
poem about a conversation with birds by World Bird Sanctuary guest author Marge
Biermann.

Bird Talk
The sky is your
highway, no traffic problem there.
No toll roads or
bridges to request a fare.
Anyway, it’s kind of
difficult for you to carry change.
I guess even using a
credit card would seem strange!
Refueling simply means
you find a worm or, maybe, a mouse.
And you usually live in
a nest or, sometimes a house.
There’s no need to
worry about a leaky roof,
You’ve solved the problem
of weather proof.
Most of your brothers
live in high rises, strong and tall,
Sheltered by leaves
like a great granny shawl.
Your voices are heard
in a variety of tones.
No monthly fees….you
never need phones.
But life isn’t always
as simple as that,
You’re always on watch
for a hungry cat.
And accidents
happen….then what to do?
You’ll need a friend to
take care of you.
You need gentle hands
to mend a broken wing,
So you can feel better
and continue to sing.
I believe the World
Bird Sanctuary is the place to go,
And then maybe you
could help them with a show.
They educate people
about how you live,
How we can help and the
assistance we can give.
Living together, all of
us….man and beast,
To keep the balance,
none should be counted as least!
