Not Every Bird a Singer

Not every bird a singer the crow more like a frog not every bird a sweet melody the parrot fondest of parody the goose more like an intersection horn when I vocalize in the shower dutiful drops seem hurried to be gone down the drain with this poem

awww that sounds so sad. Its a sweet poem. S crow with its fine black feathers looks majestic as it flies.. No voice for singing its true, but not every bird is a singer. I like this. Its destiny is not the drain.

Not every bird is a singer ! Not every poet by name is a true poet. But I am sure this poem of yours won't go down to the drain, dear Joe... :)

Above their own dogs barking, I don't think they hear anything. I play drums also. We all get along. What the heck. Life is too short to waste time complaining. Thank you, Victor.

I don't get the hoarse lawn part Joe maybe s Typo.? Oh no..Or maybe not..?Let me kniw Whether it is so.? Or just so and so.. I don't Know..Its all real strange now I have thought Of opting for bad dreams to offset the daily Horrors of our so called caring society's Diet sheet they tell us eat.'

Hoarse voice, meaning the lawn can't clearly sing its green, choked by weeds -- weeds of man's mind, interfering with melodious expression of a spirit in Godly-tune. Maybe not so good a write. Thought it was ok but I will keep looking at it, perhaps make changes. Thanks Joe. Yea I know, the daily garbage fed to society via so-called news is pathetic...and they don't care that older folks see through it. Their attitude is, complain all you like...but there is nothing you can do about. Can't vote us out any more. Nah nah na nah nah! The US and China are buddies now. Police state noose tightening. Israel moving in the same direction, huge protests.
