A Cautionary Tale


Magpie by name;
mocking bird by métier.

Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!
Can't!___Get!___Me!

Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!
Oh!____Too!___Slow!

Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!
Neener!_Neener!...

CHOMP!

O' Magpie, Magpie,
mocking bird by métier,

didn't you know?
Wasn't it clear?

The Jack Russell Terrier
NEVER quits--by métier.

There are lots of magpies outside of Seagull Book, and sometimes when I walk out the back door it sounds like war.

That makes sense, since your work is a mile from my house. It's an infestation.
