Retirement and Bird

A bird in a button-down shirt and a vest joined me for coffee, and sadly confessed,  pecking distractedly at a cinnamon roll, his manner affectingly droll. What he said, as I sat on my park bench, was (and I quote), "if you pardon my French", (he then carefully searched for a term), and said, "how I do despise worm."
