Winged Tyrant

She's won her right to privacy.
She made me sign a pact that she
could build her nest by the front door.
I will not fight her any more.
But now I must remember to
use other door when wanting through.
I've hung a sign on the front knob,
"Use other door when outdoor job
is taking you from in the house
and be as quiet a mouse."

All well and good, I've trained myself
to put my needs upon the shelf.
Until her babes are hatched and gone
I'll keep myself to the back lawn.
But Susie sees it other ways.
She's used that door all of her days.
She won't concede to any bird.
"Dumbest idea she's ever heard."
To pact with bird, dog won't agree.
Only discommoded one is me.

Dear Joyce:  Sometimes we are slaves to our pets! Really cute poem and I can imagine you will be glad when those birds are grown and gone.

Love

Dear Joyce

A very humourous poem.  I love it.  The bird sure did get the upper 'wing'.  Eh! Eh!

Love Isobel ox
