only the birds love us

I’m watching a journalist from France 2 or 3, I watch Olivier Ménard from the TV l'équipe I spoke to my conscientious mechanic on Thursday, I observe the little baker who thinks alone, I read the Blue Tunics, a french comic book, I listen to my doctor go into retirement, I watch Ancelloti talking about football, I think of the city of Rouen, the firefighters The lyric a great poet of the 19th century, I marvel at all these nurses, I fantasize about an actress named Louise, I vote for a famous red union, I listen to the raucous view of Radio Nostalgia, I am thinking of Carrefour hypermarket customers Alas, alas, only the birds love us.

You have a most interesting lifestyle Yann, I enjoyed reading your profile! We feed 'em they love us, we cage they hate us. I would love to come back as one of a flock of seagulls, but probably be a Johnathon Livingston! lol. Oui Oui ~Anaya

We engage in many activities and listen to many things. Most of them only distract us and give us no real joy. But watching birds and listening to their merry tweets will surely make us happy as we love birds and they love us in turn. Well penned dear Yaan.

thanks a lot Rose for stopping by, i admit i am very (too much ?) curious about many things, and attentive to the state of the world, have a nice week end

So true maybe sometimes i think so too, that only the birds and nature loves us, but they probably are upset too because of all that so many do mindlessly, youv listed so many interesting and intriguing things here in this poem. Made me pause and read twice! Pleasure reading you always dear poet. Sending you light alwYs~
