World Sparrow Day 2019

Rating: 5.0


as I write I watch
the sparrow as a villain
sun-bird is no match
battle in sit-out, is plain
sun-bird losing in the main

black sun-bird perhaps
the Sir MV among birds
at its nest one gapes
marvel in avian world
better design is unheard

sparrow's poor IQ
not enough for decent nest
makes it stand in queue
waits as sun-bird does its best
the sad wild tale, follows next
