Piddling Bantams
Small things, rustling and fluttering,
Twitching and skittering,
Pattering and pittering,
Humming, thrumming muttering.Mouse and sparrow,
Cricket, creeper,
Squirrel, sleeper
Clamoring through spaces narrow,
Hiding in the weeds and yarrow.
Whist! and you may hear them scuttle,
Hear them shift and hear them stir;
In the boughs of bush and fir;
Clicking beetle, prodding turtle,
Teaming undergrowth they prattle.
