There arose such a clatter

I awoke this morning to a clickity-clackity noise. I was groggy, plus my partial hearing loss made it difficult for me to locate the direction of the sound.

Click-tap-a-tap-clackity-tock-click-a-clack-tap...

Where was it coming from and what was it?

Clackity-clack-click-a-tap-tappity-click-clack..............tip-tap-a-clackity-clack-click...

It stopped a few seconds, then started again.

?

At last I saw what it was. A couple of birds were pecking at the remains of bugs stuck to the grille of the Rolling Steel Tent.

Hang around a while, my avian friends, and you can have some eggs, too.

The birds didn't want their pictures on the Web, so they flew away. The former bugs didn't complain.
