HE DOESN'T GET IT ...!
HE JUST DOESN'T GET IT ...!
To All My Dear Friends
This little robin doesn't get it
!

He really isn't doing well ...
He can't work out ...
How to land ...
On the suet-packed coconut-shell ...
He braces himself ...
Leaps ...
And
Hovers ...
Wings whirr ...
Like a humming-bird ...
But, within two seconds ...
Down he plummets ...
And hits the ground ...
Without a word ...
He shakes his feathers ...
And tries again ...
Food is serious!
It's not a game!

But he always does ...
The very same thing ...
And, so, the result is ...
Just the same! ...
He really ought to watch the blue-tits ...
They're the guys who have it sussed ...
They perch, and feed, on coconut-rim ...
And little robin looks ...
Nonplussed
...
