As I strolled on a lovely evening 
I came across a Mockingbird 
Perched on a fire hydrant 
Guardian of the street 

With clever comebacks and sass 
He was ready to extinguish any fires 
His sassy demeanor 
Made me burst into laughter 

Who would have thought 
A small bird could be so bold 
Acting like he owned the place 
Protecting the hydrant with pride 

It just goes to show 
You never know what you'll find 
On a leisurely walk 
A feathered protector in disguise 

So next time you're out and about 
Keep an eye out for the unexpected 
You might just encounter 
A fire hydrant's feathered friend
