Song for the Chickadee -- Guest Post

here's a song for the chickadee

my favorite bird on the deck

he's small and he's cute

in his formal black suit

in which he comes calling to peck

the cardinal is regal, the blackbird sublime

the finches are golden when in their prime

but the chickadee's faithful, handsome and plucky

those that receive him should count themselves lucky

he's here in the winter, here in the spring

yes a chickadee's truly a heart-lifting thing
