The Buffet Is Now Open

entry picture

The buffet is now open
good news carries on a song
The word spread across the land
and many birds come along

They come to feast on insects
mealworms and various seed
I have trouble keeping up
with their appetite and greed

Various colourful finch
robins, blue tits and sparrows
Come to dine at my table
built to keep away the crows

I made it from a dog crate
and an old computer stand 
Though I may say it myself 
it has turned out rather grand 

They get a varied menu
fresh food and water each day
Branches to rest, sit and perch 
where the young explore and play 

A fine five star restaurant
complete with solar lighting
Where small, wild birds come to dine 
from daybreak to late evening

MC as per usual can’t do right for doing wrong. Let’s hope they take the huff and find another garden to terrorise! I suppose I am also guilty of being sizeist. Maybe I’ll just leave the door open. ?

On behalf of the crows, I wish to protest against this blatant "birdism". ?

You're spoiling those birds Julie. They'll forget how to forage.
