to all my friends who come out at night

looking for a quick bite.

a nibble here and a chew there and suddenly

we appear where there were none only to leave as quietly when they are done.

i don't know your name or your game i only know your not tame and never will have a human pet for a friend with a name.

so go on your way, tomorrow i will say, hello again and goodnight when you are done.

Wheatear on Barassie Beach, Ayrshire

reach for the sky in a building of steel and glass

feel the greatness of their size and mass

filled with people and energy

who are all full of gas

so lets not pass up a chance to rely

on hopes and dreams in that great big sky

a self contained package of windows and frames

full of bodies who usually are just playing games!!!!!

Male Bullfinch caught eating Lunch in Alexandra Park, Dennistoun, Glasgow

some are big most medium and still more small

trouble in sizes can be short or tall

sometimes they have four, sometimes two

but most have legs like me and you

this one bite me and my hand swelled

not a happy smile

not a sad one

but a trip to the hospital for a little while

finally home i came

his face all excited

he was looking for food

so very delighted

i put down his food

and gave him a pet

and i said, "let's forget."

how about you?
