The Songbird
There's a songbird outside my house that knows the tune to every standard of the last fifty years. He drives me crazy.
He never stops singing, not while I'm at home anyway. How sexually frustrated does this bird have to be to tweet Paul Simon and Barry Manilow all day long? Visitors find him quaint and always want to take video, and then they make me watch their posts on YouTube. I'm thinking of shooting myself.
He says he'll keep at it until I do, because of how I shot his wife last winter. It's a decision I regret now.
