Eleven Stories Up
Balcony looks over
A school yard
And community Arena.
(Late night hockey yells.)
By the bell from the school
Kind of helps our regimen.
As morning coffee
Is enjoyed, Canada Geese
Yodel on by.
We are topmost storey
Get the teases about Penthouse level.
Lah de dah.
Pigeons on the roof waddle
On over to check us out
For irregularities.
Purple finches often
Coming up
From the woodlot berm
By the Arena.
Very nice. We love their tunes.
