Went for a walk in the woods today
First thing I saw was a beautiful Jay
A quick flash of blue
And then away it flew
Next I saw something yellow
it was a Brimstone being mellow
Fluttering by and up to the sky
I didn't even get to say Hi
I heard it sing with puffed out chest
then I saw the red of it's breast
A robin on the branch above me
sweetly singing for all to see
High above I heard a rustle
I wondered what was all the bustle
It was then I saw a blur of white
A woodpecker was in my sight
All of a sudden something grey,
Something else to see today
A squirrel gathering nuts to hide
There it goes, over to my left side
Went for a walk in the woods today
Plenty to see any time of the day
The sun is down now, out of sight
I leave the woods and say goodnight
