Weaver-bird

[Barisal, 1st November 2017, Wednesday]

Weaver, so to say, the weaver-bird

Found builds nest by toiling hard,

Oft’ in palm leaves attributes fine

skill in this line appears superfine.

Sets glowworm in its nest for light

That twinkles to illuminate at night,

In nest own through thick and thin

Manages with wit to shelter its kin.

Sparrows are almost bodily same

Unlike them weaver attains fame,

To go for man’s shed denies to like

To a depending life it takes a hike.

Finch-like songbird a tiny creature,

A live self-help practicer in Nature:

‘Self-help is the best help’ its motto

A glaring lesson everyone to follow.

For intellect dimension is no factor

In fine, weaver is to be a nice actor,

As supersedes many a genera in hit

Veneration justly be bestowed on it. 20
