Put Your Shoes On

Crows love an audience, not with people but with the gentle folk and others of their own kind .
and if their lucky it would be with jet her self.

My wife has taken to wearing heavy shoes upon my pleading because of the fondness the crows have for her skinny self ,
It doesn’t take a lot to make a crow laugh .

One just has to know what to say or do ,
My wife being such a weedy woman and I suspect part genetically related too the gentle folk anyway,
only has to turn sideways and appears to vanish from their noble view .

this has your average murder in stitches.

I’ll hear a fading squeal of delight as my thin woman is carried up aloft into the branches by and to preform for said murder .
 
I’m the one who has to rope up and retrieve my preforming wife every valiant time , 
if crows can shrug a dismissal ‘then that’s the very thing that greets me for my intrusion when I eventually reach the crown of that great oak 
and then breathlessly exclaim “really “

So that is why 
‘it’s always heavy shoes to be worn outside please (for her ),
as a way of deterring that  ancient 
Black feathered 
Fan base abducting my thin wife ( Again).
