The Curiousity

An unusual noise awoke me that night,
Through the curtains a half moon was shining it's light,
And a chill in the room.. things were not quite right,
Listening with intense.. should I sit up to hear it?
But where is my defence, and would I fear it?
What would confront me, it is time to go look'
Now wide eyed to see, I trembled and shook,
But God is with me, I've read The Good Book,
I'd have to build up the courage to go down the stairs,
What's it all about, the why's and the where's,
Whith disturbance of thought running through my head,
Quickly and quietly move toes out of bed,
It was shivering cold, but I had to be bold,
So on my feet I arose, without any clothes,
But what could be ruder than to find an intruder?
Who might steal my family's treasure,
My anger arises.. I'll give him surprises..
He'll do time at Her Majesty's Pleasure!
I crept down the stairs.. to catch him unawares..
With just a little hitch.. to finding the switch,
Then I see from the corner of my eye,
A Sparrow was hurting.. fallen down the chimney skirting,
Wing damaged!.. and now it can't fly.. that's why.. I'm on a high!
No fright now, I was ecstatic, the poor bird had been making the racket!
Must have bumped, dropped and collided,
Now he'll need a bit of help I decided!
I got the little guy.. all blackened with dirt..
I cleaned and fed him, and now call him "Burt"!
