My Magpie



November morning misty and grey
I'm watching the birds from inside
My thoughts drift away
Until I hear a noice outside

A magpie is looking straight at me
His head to one side
I nod my head like I agree
His beady eyes open wide

He scratches loudly
Makes sure I understand
Shakes his feathers proudly
When I slowly stand up and wave my hand

I take the bird feed
And open the door
Is this what you need
But he isn't there anymore

My magpie sits high up in a tree
I fill all the feeders with the seed
Later when he's eating and looking at me
He's blinking his beady eyes happy indeed

Geweldig en fijn dat je zoveel vogels in de tuin hebt.
