The Happy, Humming Hitchhiker
One day a little hummingbird
Was looking at the sky
He saw lots of birds flying South
and he began to wonder 'why'?
He asked the Robin
"will you fly South this year"?
Or do you know"?
Robin answered and said
"I always leave before the very first snow"
He asked the pretty Turtle dove
"Are you going too"?
"Yes with all my friends and family"
and she ended with a Coo
Finally she asked a Goose
"Will you go far or near"?
The Goose said "Very, very far
and you should too my dear"
The little Hummingbird sighed
I'm not very big at all,
to fly way up so high
What if something happens
And I should start to fall
The kindly Goose spoke
"then get on my back
and snuggle in real tight
You can hitch a ride with me
I'm flying South tonight"
So the happy little Hummingbird
became a hitch hiker that day
And has been riding
on the backs of geese...
ever since..
Or so some stories say

Author Notes
My thanks to canon shooter for the' Up, up and away' Hummingbird photo.
I so enjoy making children smile, short poems rolled with a ribbon goes along way with a little one who isn't feeling well, or maybe just gets caught doing something 'right'.
