PLUMED PLAN:


The blackbird listening & digging for early worm,

Not for him, the squeamish & the squishy squirm,

Weaver bird building intricate nest, he never shirks,

Nobody taught him the secrets of architect´s works,

Albatross above ocean´s skies, without home or nest,

He knows, upon thermals, how his tired wings to rest,

Crow, from Highway Bridge, drops kernel with a knack,

Who taught him, that traffic below, would his nuts crack?

Swan swims her babies, beneath her wings snug & dry,

How do all our feathered friends ever learn how to fly?

Penguins live in cold ice & snow & know how to survive,       

Eagles from their eyries , upon their prey do dip & dive,

Hummingbirds, no jewels & yet they are gems so bright,

How is it that all the plumed ones, just get it all so right?

Millions of types of birds, in just as many million lands,

They all share their secret, of their grand plumed plans.
