SNACK ATTACK
by Abigail Mumford
word count: 121
Three little birdies.
One on the left.
One in the middle.
One on the edge.
All with squawking tummies.
All perched up high.
But none who can fly.
A berry bush bright with dew.
Do they dare wing it?
Yes, that one does!
Three little birdies.
One on the left.
One in the middle.
One with feathers flying!
A pile of seeds in the sun.
Do they dare dive in?
Yes, this one does!
Three little birdies.
One left behind.
Chirping and crying.
Two with feathers flying!
An insect buzzes nearby.
Do they dare dig in?
Yes, the last one does!
Three little birdies.
All with feathers flying!
Swooping and soaring.
Independent and ignoring…
…three wriggly worms stuck in the mud.
Beautiful and fun! Great rhyme and rhythm! Good luck!
