Tweety

This is the story of Tweety who flew in our window one day. I felt I couldn't keep him so I gave Tweety away. I gave him to my next door neighbor and she had a bird of her own so she put them in her cage together so they would not be alone. They got along fine for a short time then Tweety began to attack! Shortly thereafter my neighbor asked me to take Tweety back! At first I was a little reluctant but I didn't want her bird to die so I told her to bring Tweety over at least I was willing to try. He sure was a vicious wee bugger for something so fragile and small and I have to admit from the onset I didn't like Tweety at all. He looked so sweet and so cuddly with feathers of soft blue and white but looks can be so deceiving 'cause boy that Tweety could bite! But soon he started to mellow, I whistled and he'd whistle back. The more attention I gave him the less he was prone to attack. He flew round the room on occasion and would land on our chandelier. He'd walk all over my shoulders and occasionally nibble my ear. I'll admit that he won me over which I never thought he would do. He's considered a part of the family and we all love him it's true! We've welcomed him into our hearts now and hope that he has a long stay. So that's the story of Tweety who flew in our window one day!

this is really a cool poem. Great name he had. He then turned into a Tweetie pie, when he mellowed out!!
