The Bird's Speech

A bird, long of tooth, but short of beak
had the temerity to speak.
So, I reserved a table and grabbed a seat.
The thing he had to say was "tweet".

Thanks. I guess I have a lot of time on my hands, so weird and silly things pop into my head - I'm not sure why they pop into my head. Haha, I didn't even think about the kind of tweets you can do on the Internet - maybe because I'm not to up on social media type stuff.
