A Sparrow came home

Today, I saw a sparrow at my door

Over rice she preferred dough

She flew down quietly

sat and looked.

Sat and looked all around

For bits of chapati on the ground

She pecked at a piece

Tilted her head.

Tilted her head and looked

Me, she quite overlooked

She hop-hopped

Stopped and looked.

Stopped and looked at the ants

Scurrying hastily to the plants

She followed them

Then turned back.

Then turned back to her meal

She was very hungry I feel

She pecked, hopped

Hopped and flew away.
