MAGPIE

Dedicated To All My Dear Friends

Magpie sits on fence, forlornly ...

Disconsolately tries to lick himself dry.

But, sadly, rain is rapid, relentless ...

He looks around with his glittering eye.

And spies me at my desk in the window ...

Pitying him, with a look of sorrow.

He regards me, with a rueful look,

And hopes for a warm, dry day tomorrow!
