Spring Thieves

.

   The sopranos each morning
              wake the me
  and at night they lull me into
              mine slumber

  In the days of spring though
        they pilfer my seeds
and thank me with their sullied
                 manners

            All in all though
      I have soap and bucket
   and they have the prettiest
                   coats
        which I thank God to 
               set eyes on

                    Yes
              I love those
                  pretty
               soil loving
                 thieves
