Birds Of A Feather
Is it a gaggle of geese as the sky turns red or skein of ducks flying overhead instead into the wild blue yonder and as the crow flies it's not a murder nor a tidings of magpies there's more than one (for sorrow) the question I did surely ponder as they flew into the setting sun with sparrows I have no quarrel and yet with the wisdom of...
