Wolf and Osprey

Wolf sneaks up on finch. Grabs her in his canines. Osprey avenges finch. Snatches a hare from the glade. You fool, wolf howls, that hare meant nothing to me. Osprey swallows last bit of meat, says, Wasn’t that your dinner for tomorrow? Obviously, she was something to you. Wolf and osprey tango. Blood flies like ideas, wounded flesh exposed. Both predators exhausted. You fight well, osprey huffs, but I still win. Wolf glares at bird, asks why. While we were tussling, my brothers stole your pups. Moral: Avoid poppy seed bagels or they won’t let you take your preemie home from the hospital.
