Fickle Lady
(The bluebird Saga)
She took a lot of convincing
Poor guy, he was trying
After the eviction from
purple martin domain
he had no home to offer
He quarreled and begged
scolding us, insensitive
clods that we were
Research taught us
exactly what we needed
Soon - not one, but three
bluebird houses were in place
He pleaded, he cajoled
She flew off with another
Now she's back
(apparently unsatisfied)
building a nest
in one of the three
He's a stand-up guy,
happy and content
Go figure
