Ruffled Feathers

birds of the same feather
   don't always flock together;
     while most prefer safety in numbers,
       a few just want to be hermits on towers;
         there are others which opt to flap farther
            where the wingspan room is much wider;
         among them, too, are anti-social loners,
       and a noisy bunch of social climbers;
     most of the birds that flock together,
  especially during fair weather,
are not of the same feather!
