In the Fourth Punic War
Of the hummingbirds
It was red-throated
Hansel the Younger
Who triumphed momentarily
Though his throat
Wouldn't stop bleeding
He would beat no retreat
I believe his folks eventually
Settled somewhere in Kentucky
Miners and drinkers and fiddlers
Fierce and kind living off the land
A people who went to church
And worked hard as hummingbirds
