Words and Birds

Have you heard what I have heard -
that when your quill is inspired or spurred,
the act of writing, it might be inferred,
as, with watching feathered beasts (not furred),
must never cause you to to be deterred;    
and, as the distinction is somewhat blurred,
the methodology most preferred  
is "bird by bird, word by word".

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/5/2025 7:44:00 PM Ha, ha, ha! Delightful... And -- here I permit myself a totally random, moronic comment -- this takes me back to that 1965 'golden oldie' by the 'Trashmen,' titled: 'The Bird is the Word.' If you've never seen the video, google it. It's a MAJOR HOOT. It's only about 2.5 minutes --- of complete kitsch.

I do like that song - it's kind of a guilty pleasure.
