I have no interest
In the songs of birds
Except as clues as to
Where they are

That old gray squirrel
Feeding among
Oak acorn shells
Will get no mercy
For all his years

What is mine
Is no way yours
In between
I mark the hours
‘til one arrives

To eat or treat
As an evening dish
As is my pleasure
When I wish
Folding back her ears

I loved and lived almost all of this as far as I followed it, John, though I must admit I was very surprised at the first two lines.
