The Grackle

An ornithologist of renown studied every bird in town. Indeed this vaunted scholar of worth catalogued each tweeting thing on EARTH. Quickly and thoroughly he dispatched all those creatures that ever hatched. There's only one he didn't tackle. I'm afraid that was the grackle.

Haha, glad you could get a laugh Gershon. What I think I'm dealing with is an obsessive need to say the word "grackle".
