COMMUNITY KITCHEN

The community kitchen is open again
In the centre of town, so near to us
With winter reaching her icy hand
Threatening to cut off the food supplies.

Chickadees and Woodpecker come to the feast
Using their manners, polite in their waiting
While Blue Jay and Magpie shake the feast table
Squawking and dumping the meal on the ground.

Squirrel and Rabbit and Pheasant drop by
To clean up the mess that was spilled on the ground
While Lawrence watches TV wit one eye
His other eye watching the show playing live
A wildlife feature, commercial free
At the birdfeeder just outside the window.
