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

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.
