What do you say of birds on report
what they'd add to topics of all sort
of the conversation with no sense
a yesteryear breadbasket of sixpence?...

those birds fly on high every day
land on telephone poles along the way
amused by their conversation at midday
about a breadbasket in a bale of hay

what do you say about the flock that flies
about their forecast of slate grey skies
about the scarecrow in a corn-less field
and a breadbasket less a potential yield?...

I'd say they are razing the breadbasket of the midwest - now that the milo is ready...

Well done, Sir.

I'd say Martin, that I wish they wouldn't  rest on my lines above my gardens fertilizing them with weeds...

just kidding

Hey Karilea

The book is out to you, buy 5 cents short on postage..sorry about that, a stamp slipped out of my bag. What is milo please?
seems the grain farmer and cow herder have a common 'beef' these days..but maybe they should both look towards other employment.

Maureen,

I don't want the pigeons cooing incessantly on my awning either or their turd on my balcony while I paint..but hey 'every purpose unto heaven'
