The Judge Who Loved Hadidahs
The prosecutor looked sternly said
"Again I ask you sir, what did you....
My puzzled face must have looked like guilt
The magistrate leaning forward grave
Mumbled something about a court of law
Your Honour- in my bestest English said-
I am afflicted with tinnitus and rawcus birds
on the roof are offending my constitution
I am not at liberty to explain...
"You have something against the hadidah son?
I love hadidahs ,they help me think!"
Sir I...
Youre guilty and fined thirty rand and another hundred for contempt of bird- I heard
The cicadas were going mad
And the flock flew off laughing
Ha ha ha ha-de-dah
How can a mere ticket lead to this?
The judge got up for tea
Throwing out crumbs
To a gang of carniverous fowl
Why cant they just go tweet -tweet- tweet?
