Black and white chickadee

Always looking around

You're always on alert

For larger bird inbound

You flee to nearest tree

When blue jays swoop to rail

And when jays fly away

Back to deck rail you sail

A little ball with wings

Flight path flows up and down

You always spark a grin

You never bring a frown

Though just a tiny bird

Your call is sharp and clear

I tip my hat to you

For always bringing cheer.
