I saw a big fat robin this morning
Right outside in the back yard
He looked big and fat and pretty happy
that the ground is not too hard.

I didn’t though see him
Pull a worm from the ground
He was checking things out
Just looking around.

He stayed for awhile
Other birds flew in to eat
Yet he just watched
Standing on his feet.

He looked kinda funny
Almost like in a daze
Then he started hopping around
I guess maybe starting to graze.

A few more minutes later
He flew off, a ways
To see if there’s maybe a better spot
For his family to spend their days.

He’s the first one that I’ve seen this year
So spring can’t be too far away
As now I’m pretty certain
I’ll see more robins with each new day.
