Beating aroun
d the bush all the time
the sparrow was making merry of its time
neither finding food for its little ones
nor fending for itself in the run.
Tweeting and chirping all around
playing and hopping in the round
forgetting the little ones in the nest
the sparrow was enjoying at the best.
The little ones squeaked from the tree
being hungry and wanting to be fed free
They called for their mother all in one voice
the mother was running about with a choice.
The poor little sparrows cried and cried
Not getting any response could not abide
so tried to fly from the nest in tricky hops
Lo! they failed miserably falling as drops.
The task of coming direct to the point
should be the motivation of all in a joint.
Getting straight at anything is the best
as it is a resolution faring well when put to test.

One reply on “Beating Around.”
Perhaps the mother bird was teaching to fend for themselves.
