Those Endearing Little Chirpers Poem by Francis Duggan

From where people live you never do see them that far away
On bushes and trees by sheds and dwellings they chirp all through the day
Not the prettiest birds to look at that's not saying anything new
House Sparrows they are plentiful their numbers never few
At home in urban gardens and gardens in the countryside
Introduced to many Countries they are known Worldwide
Familiar birds to many and familiar birds to me
Those endearing little chirpers i often hear and see
Small mottled gray to brown birds plain to look at they seem bereft of song
But they are supreme chirpers they do chirp all day long
Some people do not like them but i'm not one of those
And among humans in general they have more friends than foes
From sheds and human dwellings they are never far away
Those endearing little chirpers i see them every day.
