Mating Season

Oh okay, you’re colorful And I like that thing you’re doing with your wings Mmmm yeah, fluff those feathers Do that hopping thing again I liked that Hold up, wait, what’s this? This fella over here brought me a bottle cap? You are OUT, hoppy boi There is a new alpha-male in my life Hey BottleCap boi, How loud can you squawk? Hmm not bad, not bad I’ve heard louder So do you have other gifts for me, or… Just the bottle cap? Just the bottle cap, then. Well...I think...maybe…. You take your worthless bottle cap And get the HELL out of my tree! You know what, I’m keeping the bottle cap! If you can’t handle me when I’m territorially aggressive Then you don’t deserve me when I’m nesting, am I right? It’s fine, really I’ve got plenty more breeding seasons And I’ve practically got a flock of idiots Who bring me worms on the daily, As if that would ever convince me to mate with them. Ugh, Male specimens are such trash. 3/6/2021 Biting Satire Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
