ROBIN on the ground
Cardinal in the tree
One with a CREST
One with a red breast
FERRY back and forth
Constantly in motion
Jaunty and PERKY
Sometimes a little JERKY
Delight the eye
And lift the spirit

AFTER playing in the CREEK
a stop at the animal shelter.
Oh naive mother, you went
to the creek without intending
to get wet, and to the shelter
without anticipating adoption!?
You must have known.

And so you arrive home
with wet, dirty, children
and two adorable kittens
named PERKY and JERKY.
For your next outing
might I suggest a museum?
