Sunny Sunday

Another sunny Sunday in May
Ahh great springtime day for a walk
But where is everyone?
Condos, apartments and townhomes all
Windows, coverings and doors battened down
Children were even scarce
Save for a few
There’s a Dumpster Diver!
“Hi, does the trade support you?”
Sure it’s pretty fair 
“Did you score all this today?”
Oh, maybe in the past two weeks
“Well, happy hunting”

Moving on…
Hot Wheels trike reporter
Tells Dad - “Daniel says he’s going far away.”
Tiny toddler trike abandoned at bridge’s edge
For lack of get-away traction
Daniel, arms folded pouting, proclaiming
“GO AWAY - I HATE YOU”
Small Tike for such words!
Can’t get involved there…

Moving on…
Prairie dogs all astir & on sentry alert
Falcon standing in the clearing
Oh, look, tons of pups
One absconded for sustenance
That explains the raucous
Falcons have to eat too!
Must accept nature’s ways
A passerby recognized my attitude saying
“You must have grown-up on a farm”
Heavens YES, thankfully so…

Aren’t we all living by the same code?
Survival of the fittest
