Blue Jay on the Fence

1Look! A blue jay is landing
on the fence beside the shed.
He is looking, he is pecking,
he is turning his blue head.

2Every morning, Jay comes back.
He sits on our porch rail.
He calls out, "Jay!" to all his friends
and spreads his long blue tail.

3Yesterday, Jay looked around.
He picked a seed up off the ground.
He cracked it open, called hello,
then soared up where the tall pines grow.

4Now I am sitting on the step.
I hold a peanut out.
Jay is looking. Jay is thinking.
Will he come? I do not shout.
