The Mockingbird

Day 1: It’s early and I need my fix, berries or seed I will fly next door but must watch for the monster He is fluffy and orange and has claws, he tried to chase me I will mock him, make all kinds of sounds, to scare him away There he is, I land on his house roof and start singing A doorbell sound, a siren, a screech, has he left yet? I see a flash of orange run into the house, I won, ha ha! I fly to the birdseed, whoa, I stop, there is a huge Blue Jay I am beyond irritated, I squawk, dance and make a scene Day 2: The sweet lady comes out every morning with a huge beast He tried to chase me one morning at the feeder, he is quick I flew to safety, to the lilac bushes and hid in the bird house I need to try again, there is so much free food, is it a trap? I fly over even earlier to feed but there is another monster He is black and white and stalks me, maybe I can attack him? I decide to keep searching, I see another house I can try I need to find new sounds to use for my feeding strategy Alas, sweet berry suet, I rejoice with my many melodies! 7/13/19 Title chosen: The Mockingbird Contest: Pick A Title, Vol 6- Personification Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
