Obese Birds

Can you ever imagine How life would really be If most birds were obese And fell from their tree? Sparrows staggering somehow Around with bent beaks Upturned to the sky Awaiting helpful tweaks! Alas, when the rain showers Fall like you wouldn’t believe You’d see Sparrows wearing snorkels To help them better breathe! And then an Albatross Won’t be able to leave the ground Due to overeating fish And turning overly round. Ducks, when thrown some bread By children in the park Would slowly, steadily sink As surely as a dog does bark! Swallows they would swallow Many, too many flies And end up heavily crashing From our summer skies. Then, all the newspapers On the front page would read: “We’re Fed up with Obese Birds Please, Do NOT feed!”
