ODE TO BIRDS

You're so colourful and neat and stuff,

I like your colours, they are very nice,

I like nice things.

I think some of you make nice fur coats,

or would if you were not all on endangered species lists and stuff.

People kinda suck for making you extinct for your meat,

and taxidermist arts and sport.

I am sure you are tasty and stuff,

don't get me wrong I am not insulting you,

I am just saying it's a terrible time to be a human,

always killing the environment.

No one says if a human destroys ancient bacteria species,

that they are evil and a terrible force,

mostly because if it's visible we can process our role in it's existence,

I think sometimes how nice it would be to be a bird,

not a crow though, well they are smart for sure,

but not them,

I would like to be a colourful bird,

and soar high in the sky but not too high,

I don't want to get dizzy.

I like colourful birds, so much,

they give birth to fluffy cuteness,

feather pillows are my favourite,

birds fly they go up but their feathers are called down feathers,

weirdness,

even ducks can fly,

it's sort of not a fair title in a way,

maybe in protest that's why I don't buy them,

maybe I am an ethical shopper and stuff,

In truth I cannot afford them.

Well ok birds, have fun flying if you can fly,

and chirping, I wonder how many of your species are poet species,

I wonder if I was a bird what kind of chirps I would make,

some birds copy sounds,

it's pretty cool really.

I know some birds are lame and cannot fly,

I don't mind I still like them.

Some birds have nice eyes,

not as nice as cats,

oh and what's up with cats eating birds all of the time,

oh and why do dogs not like cats?

Couldn't we all just get along?

Anyhow I have to go now,

it's been nice writing a poem to all birds,

even ones that die of influenza,

I hope there's a bird heaven,

I sorta though hope you are not forced to fly there, because it may be far,

what's the point in getting to heaven with jetlag,

all exhausted and stuff?

Anyhow, believe it or not this is the first poem I ever wrote to all birds,

I know I wrote it like a boss,

I bet you are all wondering how I did it,

It just flows man,

anyhow birds if you can all hear me...take care,

and save the world and stuff, man,

cool beans,

peace.
