 <\/p>\n

After You<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am one of Harvey\u2019s hummingbirds.<\/p>\n

I know\u2026it ridiculous to act like he owns me.<\/p>\n

But ya know he\u2019s got some of the best sugar water around.<\/p>\n

And he doesn\u2019t forget to refill it like his lazy neighbors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s an easy gig but there is a catch.<\/p>\n

I wish I wasn\u2019t so intuitive but I can see<\/p>\n

Harvey\u2019s not so crazy about when I chase<\/p>\n

Chester away every time he tries to swipe<\/p>\n

my food.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, excuse me \u2013 there\u2019s Zoe.<\/p>\n

I need to fly way high like this<\/p>\n

and, hang on, swooooop down so fassssst!<\/p>\n

That must have really impressed her!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But back to Harvey and Chester.<\/p>\n

Yeah it\u2019s kinda hard to do I admit<\/p>\n

but I don\u2019t want to disappoint Harvey<\/p>\n

so Chester go ahead, after you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ya gotta realize I lap up nectar<\/p>\n

eighteen times a second,<\/p>\n

I ain\u2019t no slouch.<\/p>\n

I can catch up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So go ahead Chester<\/p>\n

Please you first.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But stay away from Zoe!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
