Bird's Eye-View

The ostrich hides her head in the sand most birds hit the skies as planned The woodpecker pecks at some woody-good-wood while the hummingbird’s wings hum as they should The robin comes out to strut her stuff back in she goes, the ground's too tough And, O, for a pair of cardinals to fly to the edge of the Dardanelles Flying creatures inspire and exhilarate, you see except when they tinkle all over me

I enjoyed these bird’s perspectives. Very cleverly presented.

Did you never wonder why there are shotguns ;-) Actually, the pleasure I get from watching birds more than compensates for the occasional splat… can’t say I’m sorry that the ostrich can’t fly. A fun one, GW

Just avoid the Pelicans because they are a very large birds who eat a lot of fish. I enjoyed reading your nature work. Very impressive. Thanks for your visits to my page. Sara K

your last line cracked me up making your title perfect. On the other hand, your descriptive words about different birds were well said and placed. A delightful read this morning, Sara

Was thinking it might be good luck. Though maybe at that moment in time it wasn't. Put the lottery on, anyhow.
