I waited, but you didn’t return
The clematis weren’t as tall
Nor as full
And they bloomed too early
Because of that heat wave
So soon
I missed you this year
But I still have your nest from last year
And I’ll save it forever 
Maybe I’ll see you next year
I really hope so

This is my entry for Kevin‘s NTT 7/18/24 challenge
You have to say it like Elaine does
On Seinfeld
That’s how he got his name
His other claim to fame
Was dunking stale bagels in the birdbath
He doesn’t like to be told no
So now he follows me wherever I roam
Does Jerome
Outside, feeding the birds and the squirrels
I hear Jerome cawing
Above my head
At the local shopping center
He follows me there
He follows me here
He doesn’t seem to care
He’s my nemesis
And I’m OK with this
We shall never be friends
The grudge is permanent
Jerome has decided
This lady earned it
No sparkly objects will he ever give
To me or anyone that I know who will ever live
He will tell his children, and they will tell theirs
“That lady is mean
Don’t go near her
Don’t you dare
Of course we wouldn’t ever hurt her…
But remember boys and girls
Groups of crows are called murders”
