 Blasted bird, and again I didn't win last night. a tattered, one-eyed crow cawed at me sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard the damndable thing one of its winds had been damaged probably by the same thing that took off two of its claws it hopped miserably upon the porch where I was sitting cawed again pointed its beak at the Powerball ticket in my hand mocking it with a cocked head could almost hear it saying Powerball, ya gotta be kidding, ya gotta be kidding I waved it away it tried to fly with that crippled wing most pitiful thing I've ever seen still . . . it made the lowest branch of the oak tree squawking all the while this was not the first time he'd ridiculed my Powerball ticket how you think he got all crippled I did it proud of it arrogant, miserable excuse for the bird species every Wednesday and Saturday it makes a spectacle of itself mocking me my chance to win a fortune I shake my fist toward the ghoulish bird and clutched my soon-to-be-fortune in my other hand �May 3, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
