A Very Important Question

~A Very Important Question~ To all the clever clogs out there, and I know there are some It’s only cos I’m jealous because I am not one of them I know how to split an atom, and make a clock run on a lemon I know how to change a heater on a hot tub, cos I have just done one I know what to plant in an acid garden that will gives its best bloom I know the time to plant it and I know when it’s too soon But when my little nephew asked a question while talking to me It was a question I was stuck on and it’s “do the dicky birds wee?” Well I thought about it for a while and pondered on this question And all the bird poop lying around I could not make a decision on So to all of you that know the answer, please will you tell me When a bird is having a craps on us, is it also having a wee? ©GG 1/09/2012

Funny! I don't know the answer but one day while driving with the sun roof open, a seagull took the time to fly over and "Crap" in my hair and it was not a "wee" little bit. Great verse my golden friend and thank you for the laugh! Cynthia

Well I have thought about that same question,,,, a bird pooed in my moms hair when I was around 8 yrs old, my sister and I took off running around the back of the house so she wouldn't see us laughing. So we talked about that still,,,,, poem is great ;}

Mandy, you are so talented and clever. I love your work. Folks will remember you. And yes, I have been away. It's harvest season and I work 12 to 36 hours at a time. I'm truly tired, Mandy. Thank you for noticing my absence. You are the first one to mention it and I am grateful for it. It's nice to think that I'm not a horrible poet. You are an inspiration, Mandy...love ya...Caleb.

no, apparently, they don't pee, 'they pass moisture with their droppings' and don't have a urethra

LOL, enjoyed a chuckle here, Mandy - but I've never seen a bird taking a pee (perhaps they stand in a corner somewhere to do that...) I'll have to Google that - I'm curious now...

I can always, always count on you Mandy for a smile! I love how your poems always bring a smile in me! Thank you! As for your question here, I do believe that there is pee in their poop-- I hope that helps a wee bit ;p--- as for being back, I saw your comment in Frank's blog, I'll be popping here and there... Hugs to you :)

Honestly, I don't know, but if I were to guess I would say they do pee, whether or not it's when they poop would be a good question, but I would say they do...And if this is just a funny joke, ha ha, you got me! Lovely write Mandy! Great Work!!

"Birdie, birdie, in the sky--- Something hit me in the eye--- I'm a big boy, I don't cry--- But I'm so glad that cows can't fly"... In other words, in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter?... ;-) Terry (great poem)
