the waterfall in my backyard
a favored hummingbird spot
for a sip straight off the wing
sheriffed by the resident hummer
an easy-going type who accepts the
risk with so many flower raiders around
he keeps an eye out for laggards
and lingerers flashing his badge
and if it needs to be said:
just finish your drink and skedaddle
I’m the law and this ain’t no free country!
