C R Clark - A Brash Hummingbird

My wife keeps a feeder for her dear hummingbirds
Outside our window it hangs in the shade
Hummers refresh themselves sunup till dark
They sip and they slurp that red hummer kool aid

There’s one little hummer, a brash one indeed
On occasion the feeder went dry for a day
Flew up to the window, hovered, peeked in
And scolded my lady for her negligent ways

She mixed up a new batch of red hummer kool aid
And to hang it up high, she prevailed upon me
When that brash little hummer returned for his drink
He bowed through the window to my lady and me
