Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Chatting With A Myna Bird

I can't think of anything more absurd

     Than chatting with a haughty myna bird

          He will outwit me by far

               Since he's wiser than I are

                    He must think I am an ignorant nerd

Andrea Dietrich June 17, 2025 at 10:00 PM Ha. Did you use bad grammar on purpose to achieve the last lines effect? Great thinking. Robert L. Hinshaw June 24, 2025 at 4:14 PM On purpose, Andrea - its an old Air Force way of talking and lt seemed to add to the further nonsense of this write - ha. Best always - Bob
