Birds Are Such A Useless Critter. Poem by Michael Gale

Birds on telephone lines and tree limbs a'twitter...
A bird can be a beautiful and at the same time, a bothersome critter.

I have to ashamely admit, that when i was a wee bit younger...
I witnessed a bird, tird on a very young boy accompanied by
his mother.

Splatt! Right on his head and hair...
From up above-How does the bird-he dare?

Does that flapping, flying critter really care? ...
Nope! , i think not...
The infallable culprit.
Look as he caws 'Not i, i- not! '

With a smirk on my face...
I be, a guiltless (Disgrace) .

But, at the time, i really thought it, to be real funny...
As a scene- in a movie- It would cammand lots'a money.

You shoul'da seen the look on his very quizzical face...
Where did that big blob of white come from, up in the sky? ,
is why and where, and high, that skyly place.

His mother reached into her purse for a kleenex or even a hanky...
The bird-that cad! What a dirty pranky!

To this day, i think to myself, that there will always be, such a useless, utter critter...
That sits atop tree limbs or power lines, always a-goin' a'twitter.
