~Flipping The Bird~

You flipped this bird right off his perch
I’m hanging on by twig of birch
I’ve always done just what you asked
I mimicked you with every task

And now you leave me hanging here
I ask you why ~ I want to hear
Could it be something that I said
What was the reason that you fled

I only spoke the words you taught
And echoed back your every thought
I was your puppet on a stage
Ventriloquist’s dummy in wired cage

So, come back, dear ~ don’t fly the coop
You’ve really thrown me for a loop
What’s that you say ~ you went for seed
I should not worry ~ there’s no need

I thank my lucky stars you’re back
While in your care, I nothing lack
You are the wind beneath my wings
You are the tune my bird brain sings

You’ve flown into my little heart
I knew I loved you from the start
So, read my beak ~ I’ll tell you true
The bird you flipped has flipped for you

lol That's great!

On so many levels... It was funny, yet had an awesome message. Great write.

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

Vicky, I love it.

It was funy in many different ways...
I loved how the scene before us chagned from hurt and worry, to encouragement and love. Much indeed a good write.

Look for mine soon.

Haha...gorgeous, Vicky. Very creative of you if I don't say so myself. See, this is funny. You want all of us to live up to standards like this? HA! Now that is amusing.

Seriously though, I love it. Comedy is great at the best of times.
