Hearts were breaking today at the feeder.
The birds won't forget, I'm afraid.
I bought the wrong seeds at the Safeway,
and oh what a difference it made!
I watched as they came in for breakfast,
but for each it was always the same.
A sad little chirp and they flew off, -
and I wept, knowing I was to blame.
Then, seeing them leaving, I wondered, -
which of us suffered the most?
Was it I, who had caused them such heartache,-
or the birds who lost faith in their host?
Oh, that is so sad. I wonder if City birds are as picky as the birds of Marin?
