Birthday Party

Birthday Party Wolves and foxes had promised me not to fight on my birthday and I made meaty cakes just for them; But black ravens I had not invited, came too, egged them on, while also cruelly harassing sparrows in the plum tree. I had put lights up on the trees in the garden but they could not on my, day behave. I took the cakes inside, switched off the lights went to bed and cried. A rumble in the forest, a bear came told them to behave and be kind to me, mainly because I had baked it a straw berry tart. The party continued, and squirrels sat on trees squeaking happy birthday to you as I threw them nuts. In the animal world it is all about food and as long as you can provide you’re a friend. Except the raven they do not care, are contemptuous of my feeble, attempt to be loved by unruly members of the Corvidae family.
