Bird On A Wire
I am thankful–thankful I’m not a bird.
That’s right, a bird’s life is NOT for me.
Oh it looks inviting from outside–winters in warmer weather, having the bone structure of a runway model & shitting wherever you want.
But I am not that superficial.
I think there is more to life than sitting on a wire.
Whereas we have venues like the Eagles, Elks, VFW, Knights of Columbus, even Dave & Busters to gather together, the wire is the big social club for birds.
The fine-feathered hangout.
A place they can flock, chirping it up, gossiping about who is nesting with whom.
I simply don’t have the balance to perch on a wire. Heck, I have a hard enough time trying to stand on the bathroom scale without holding on. No way I would be able to handle the sway of the wire or gusts of wind.
Plus, I don’t have the feet to be a bird.
Though I admit before my last clipping, my toenails could have been mistaken for talons!
(When you hear “Click-Clack” sounds while walking barefoot on a hardwood floor-maybe it’s time for a nail trim.)
A bird’s diet is also less than appealing. Although scarfing a worm is gotta be similar to eating plain, cooked spaghetti. Add some sauce & grated cheese and they both probably taste the same.
Yeah I’m thankful I am not a bird.
But pooping on my neighbor’s new car DOES sound fun.
