I remember once, outside the Co-Op, people had left their bags of groceries while doing other errands and the local crows had the BEST time. It was a crow party! LOL. Loved this poem.

A prompt from Magpie Tales
To the bird there is only now
in the moment is how he flies
he watched from the sill
the sumptuous repast of man
the man was called away
a simple hop became
a feast for the magpie

Never ever turn you back to a magpie.

It is that simple for some birds. If only crumbs could fill us all.

Carpe Diem!
The magpie exclaimed
as any sensible bird
or creature would ...
a feast of cake he had today
but tomorrow
there may be nothing.
I liked your story very much! Bastet
