You Had a Bird In Hand

You had a bird in hand your boat was right there at your pier with your name on it all the accouterments were at your fingertips there was nothing to do but jump aboard it was that easy one step at a time over the gangplank one, two, one, two bingo, all aboard but no not one, two, one, two ... splash like one thinks however ... baby snubbed her nose, a pleasant way of saying condemnation wanting a bigger,faster and shinier ship condemning the smaller ship okay ... keep in mind you had a bird in the hand a boat that would have been loyal to you it certainly doesn't match up with the bigger,faster and shinier ship but it would have been loyal then again ... maybe the horizon has a pretty picture for thee then again ... maybe that picture has laughing donkeys who knows who knows ... how long you be waiting for that perfect horizon who knows ... if laughing donkeys bred the gist of it all, you did have someone that was loyal to you contrary to what you might have thought connie pachecho 1/29/17
