Oh little sparrows what do you see
gazing through the window at me
turning to each other to converse
then conveniently disperse
was it something I said yesterday
I offered you bread in a nearby tray
would you prefer I sat elsewhere
giving you privacy if I'm not there

"Oh no that sounds quite twee
we would not have you flee
your welcoming smile and food
I say the roast worm is awfully good
where would you go on this fine day
how can we your generosity repay
we cannot give you a bite to eat
just sit there and rest your feet"
