Oh,you dastardly little twit
who sits there on the wooden rail!
Can’t you see you are giving a fit
and causing me to look quite pale!

Just grinnin’ and droolin’ upon
the ground beneath that horrid nest.
Can’t you leave and start movin’ on.
You know it’s you that I detest!

Ya came into my life that day
when rain and sleet were pourin’ down.
Ya came as a guest, not asked to stay
and now you twit, stop foolin’ around.

Ya know I like my porridge hot
with steam coming from in the bowl.
Ya know its for me, you it’s not
and that is how the dice will roll.

And when I took a cold shower
cause the water was down the drain.
It was then, that one morning hour
I knew I could not do it again.

So, listen Bird to what I say
cause I am shuckin’ the first round
into this magnum, “Make my day”
and it’s you, this target I’ve found!

Goodnite Grip....

Hey Barry, make sure, that when you got that dastardly little varmit cornered, and have you 44 Mag shoved in it’s face, you don’t forget to say, “Do you feel lucky, Punk!?

“Well Do Ya!?

(Clint Eastwood dialogue folks)

That’s what I always do...

lol

You know I’m kidding right?

I shot a bird once, when I was real young, with a BB gun. I hit it in the neck, and it dropped dead. It really affected me, and I never did it again. I have done my fair share of fishing, but never did do any hunting. Even though my dad and some of my brothers do.

Any who, great write!

Them little buggers can be quite the nuisance, cant’ they?


Take Good Care Barry,

Richy

Oh, my! And what was in that porridge of yours? Cute write--you were just joking about murdering one of our feathered friends, weren't you, dear lover of man and beast?  

Mornin' hugs,

The crows around here wake me predawn every day...grumble...but, I still love birds.  Enjoyed the fun in your poem, dear man!

I got those kinds of birds that have the shrill that starts low and gets higher, can't explain it, but damn it annoys me.
