DADDY'S' HOME


When first time fed Hummingbirds
It was really fun
Put out a couple feeders
Waited for setting sun
Back then would come spring to fall
Not a chore had a ball
Someone said feed those little tykes
They buzz around your kids on bikes
They count on you to survive
Show they put on jump and dive
My love for them grew and grew
In my window colorful greens and blue
Thought how cute the affection shows
My love for them grows and grows
One day flew up and touched my nose
Then found out feeder was empty
Not a fool were showing me quite simply
Then next year they came all winter long
Brought friends and neighbors along
Feeding day and night a family strong
Sky was filling with hummingbirds
Buzzing in my ear one day was heard
Four at a time would sit on the feeders
From my sugar bowl they were repeaters
Now I am changing feeders once a week
This ain't job for the very meek
I've added more feeders they keep coming
They are holding signs some are bumming
Now my pantry is running out of feed
Still they are coming in their need
More well be coming ain't even summer
Start raising bees ain't that a bummer
Cats and dogs eating out of house and home
Got some hummingbirds I'll put out on loan
One third sugar three parts water
Two minutes in a microwave you gotter
Friends for life wife' moving out
All she sees is hummingbirds flying about
