On Turning Seventy

Whoever thought I'd live to see
The diminishing of the bird's and bees?
Avian flu and like disease,
Poisoning lawns and cutting trees.
. . . . . . . . . . .
Oh, how sad it is to enter my Seventies,
And see fewer robins and chickadees.
. . . . . . . . . . .
Went down to the lake today,
Caught two largemouth bass.
Nice sized they were; fun to play.
Pulled them up to the Spring green grass,
Then put them back to swim away.
