Flying hogs of Plato? Good summertime piece even though reference is made to the groundhogs' hold on the media which temporarily yanked me back to February. I know the hummingbirds are twittering, hovering and divebombing around my feeders as I'm sure they are around other public radio listeners' homes. The metaphor between hummingsbirds and human beings is apt and showcased well by the poem. This would be a good piece to drop in before or after a piece by the Doyenne of Dirt perhaps? Easy to listen to summertime piece with an ending by Seals and Croft that made me smile. It fit in well with the overall tone of the piece. Entertaining.
