I have a new boss

He's blue, black and white

He sits on deck rail

He calls with his might

He does not hold back

His calls pierce the air

"No peanuts on rail!"

His loud calls declare

I'm trying to write

Calls shatter my thoughts

I give a big sigh

And rise from my spot

A quick trip outside

To lay peanuts down

Yikes! Wind is so cold!

My smile turns to frown

Watch from my window

As blue jays soar in

Peanuts go quickly

I turn with a grin

For one looked at me

And gave a loud call

With peanut in beak

I laughed at his gall

I step back outside

And lay peanuts down

A short time later

Trees like a ghost town

Back to my writing

For now, peace will reign

I count my blessings

As rhyming words rain
