Otherwise Ubiquitous

They were here,

 They were there

 and

 They were everywhere,

They have woken up me in the mornings

 and

 Warned me of any visitors arrival,

Strewn everything around and spoilt my tidy garden,

They were an asset sometimes

 and

Nuisance too at times,

But

There are not here, there or anywhere else,

When I needed them most.

No need to wake me up

 or

To warn me of any visitors’ arrival,

Come back again and even untidy my garden,

But just take my humble offerings,

At least on Saturday mornings.
