MESSY BACK YARD
Whilst cleaning the windows this morning
And gazing down at the snow a-blowing,
I noticed other back yards smooth and clean,
Ours a mass of animals and birds tracks seen.

In no other yards did bird feeders hang about,
No leftover bread and scraps was cast out,
But there yard were empty of hungry beasts,
While ours full of all creatures having a feast.

Although I love to see pure pristine snow,
I much prefer over the white snow and go
To feed the birds and small creatures around,
I’m glad that ours is the messiest one found.
