Grocery Store Grackles
Perhaps you’re walking
Down aisle five
When a falpping whoosh
Catches your eye
Maybe you’re selecting
This week’s meat
When you hear a chirp
Or was it a cheep?
And there, in the rafters
Just chilling and preening
A bird (or seven)
(This place could use some cleaning)
And as they swoop above
Do a quick “caw-caw”
You realize yeah this place
Really does have it all
Groceries’ toiletries and birds
Make this place complete
And of course you’d nest here —
There’s always plenty to eat.
