Poem
Meeting for a
Drink (Florette)
While sitting near
my fountain dear,
a pretty yellow
finch appeared.
When he came by to
say hello
it thrilled me much
to simply know I wasn't feared.
He looked at me and
seemed quite wise,
as seeing me was no
surprise;
he groomed his
feathers, and seemed to think,
then bowed to me and
took a drink, just us two guys.
