Cacophony of crackles greeted us
Staccisissimo of starlings I did fear
While waiting for our bayward gliding bus
Those fearless birds attacking from arrear.

Tickets yet have I to ride and write,
No aerial assaults today, I plead
He smiled and said no birds have come to smite
It is the pinecones spilling forth their seed.

Such wondrous orchestration from a tree
A drum roll for our labors so inspired,
While guaranteeing proud longevity
Not biotech but pure biology.

May seeds and starlings dance in harmony,
And starlings cease their trespass onto me.
