The Bird Bath~by rldubour

The Bird Bath

I was sitting in the flower garden and I just had to laugh.
Just watching all the birds as they took a bath.
The sparrows and the gold finch they were first to come.
One by one they took their bath and left when they were done.
Robin red breast came along and sang a little song.
And when the Blue jays showed up to bathe the Robin he was gone.
The waterfall was soothing the day was extra bright.
And one by one they took there turn and then took off in flight.
The Grackles and the Starlings were a funny sight.
They were pushing one another as if they were going to fight.
They were all amazing as I watched as they behaved.
One by one they took their bath on this summer day.
A hummingbird showed up but only just to drink.
A hawk flew by but didn’t stop he was too big I think.
Then the neighbors cat was there not saying but a word.
You could tell what’s on his mind he wanted just one bird.
Soon he left and the birds returned to finish off their bath.
As I sat in the flower garden I just had to laugh.
