Do Early Birds Really Catch The Worm? Poem by Dr John Celes

A morn has dawned with sun-rays peeping through
The leafy inter-woven tree-spaces;
And little birds come chirping, hopping fast,
In search of worms and insects, on the ground.

One little bird does find a little worm!
A bigger bird spots this and snatches it;
It beaks the little bird upon its head,
And flies away to perch on tree-branch nigh.

Do early birds really catch the worm?
It isn't the rule, for rivalry exists;
The mighty rule the world and rob the weak;
It isn't a world of fairness for earthlings!
