Sniff and Scratch

By Ranjana Gorakhnath Tidke

Sniff and scratch

Yelp and bark

Early every morning

I do these task

Bees are humming

In chorus on a tree

Birds hopping and flying

On a chirping spree

The farmer's wife

Sweeps fallen leaves

To trap a fly, the spider

Wearily weaves

The suspicious robin

Appears from nowhere

The rooster is crowing

Every passing hour

Big trucks are rushing

Frome here to there

They have some goodies

To take somewhere

Far away I hear

A bark and a howl

May be they've discovered

Something big or small

So I sniff and scratch

And dig the ground

I too have to match

The busy world around
