Considerate

                                     Considerate

I keep my windows dirty so the chickadees don't hit the glass

I don't swat the horseflies so the spiders have their snacks

I keep my hair in a bees nest so the sparrows can build their best

I don't wear a vest so you can scrape the steel wool on my chest

I don't dust the books as a homage to their history

I don't crack a smile because they're happy in their misery

I keep stains on my shirts so the shiny ones can stick up their noses

I stay on fire so the rangers can test their hoses

I keep the door ajar so the curious can hear their fill

I keep the brow low I provide the cheap thrills

I don't do the dishes the rodents can clean lick it

I don't mow the lawn so the dogs have a jungle for their business

I give the hens something to peck about after the date

I don't clean my room because the clutter keeps me safe
