A Great Time for a Climb
That’s a very big tree
and a boy scout could climb it
with all the right gear.
But it’s a condominium, too.
You would disturb families.
Blue Jays don’t feature
interruptions when they
have young in the nest.
They put up with
squirrels scampering
across the branches.
Robins have young too
but they have no interest
in seeds or nuts and
no one else likes worms.
Sparrows chatter away
and raise a ruckus since
they have young also.
Why not wait until fall
when the young leave the tree.
Fall’s a great time for a climb.
