The Litte Being Part 3

The shrubs rustled and birds chirped

The snores rustled the leaves above.

Two green eyes opened to the sunlight

A yawm sounding like the breeze escaping

 

Standing under the edge of the brush

He glances out,listening too.

There on the edge of the clearing

Close to the huge bin was food

 

Watching for squirrels and giant hands

He carefully dusts of the dry muck

Shaking his pack out hoping the inside is clean

Appraoching the mound of refuse

 

The little being carefully listens and looks

The dunking by those little hands, gave him a fright

Soon the summer will be here and crowds will thin

Not to mention the family will be home

 

No more food forages through the park alone

Opening his pack placing it so all the creamo cups

Are lined up ready to fill. .Whump! He jumps and cowers

The big beings can't see him,Yet that just missed his head.

 

After a short time he moves to the abandoned food.

He climbs the burger cutting pieces here and there

filling the little cups, one by one, meat and salad and bread

Plunk, look an apple his favorite, he cuts lots of this off

 

Hiding under the brush when the noise sounds close

He has found some juice, and fresh creamos

What luck, the other animals haven't found this yet.

Closing his filled pack, he checks for hands or animals

 

Picking up a lunch in his hand he moves off

Through the brush he goes stopping in the heather

Deep green eyes darting to and fro

Look at all the people and pets

 

He will have to wait for dark

Shivering while thinking about his impending trip

Getting dunked in the puddle still fresh in his mind

Seeing more legs and feet now he backs away.

 

Hiding in the dense heather he cowers

Eating his lunch as the sun warms his soul

Soon the little snores are rustling the leaves like the breeze

Hidden from humans and pets in the flowers he rests.....
