MRS. ROBIN 
“Sometimes we find big ones, 
Most too big to eat, 
But we manage to pull them 
Apart with our feet. 
“In the spring of the year 
We make the woods ring, 
It’s a sign to the nation 
The coming of spring 
“We build nests near houses 
Some birds say we are bold; 
But it’s a sign to good children, 
It’s not going to be cold. 
“Our main food is fish worms 
We pull out of the ground 
In mowed lawns and gardens 
They mostly are found. 
“We are first to have babies 
In our dear little place, 
And I sure want to take them 
To the birds’ foot race. 
“For those little babies 
’Twill be lots of fun, 
For mama and papa 
Are both going to run.”
