Dueling Worms – A Silly Poem
I saw a robin in the grass –
A worm clasped in its beak.
A second robin plunged to earth
And challenged with a shriek.
The second robin pecked the ground
Not once, but twice I saw.
A worm appeared within its beak –
All squirmy, round, and raw.
The two birds stood and faced each other –
Worms in beaks and drawn.
The street was quiet – the wind was still –
A showdown on the lawn.
I held my breath. The robins stood
Like figures in a frieze.
As if on cue, the sun began
To glimmer through the trees.
The robins each, in unison,
Convulsed their heads around.
And, like a mirror image, then
They gulped those worms right down.
