Eurasian Collared Dove – Bird Talk

Just wait! I’m bringing you a snack,

It’s really tasty corn,

If it’s not good I’ll take it back,

As sure as you were born.

 

Oh wait! Don’t run away so quick,

You’d think I want a date,

I like you, but it’s not a trick,

If you would only wait.

 

Well, look at me, I’m such a man,

You’ll see what I can do,

I’ve learned to dive because I can,

And all this, just for you.

Can you believe this guy up there?

He must be simply nuts,

But on the other hand I swear, 

He’s got a lot of guts.

Lunaria

Otherwise known as money plant, silver dollar plant, and honesty (for its seed pods’ transparency).

My lengthy bloom should suit your needs,

You’ll find me in your garden,

With dollar coins to hold the seeds,

My greed I hope you’ll pardon.

 

I don’t ask much, just water me,

I’ll grow most anywhere,

In every yard I ought to be,

I’ll grow up tall and fair.
