Ode to Phyllis
'cos I miss 'er.
Where *is* that marvellous woman, that inspirational poet, that genius of the written word, that protector of our feathered friends, Miss Phyllis White?
Well, anyway, I spent the whole of last night composing this little verse in her honour and in the hope that she might, once again, grace us with her illustrious presence.
I do hope you like it, although I realise that I can never, ever, even in my wildest dreams, aspire to her great heights.
Ahem...
Little bird, flying high,
Oh! Methinks your time is nigh.
Birdies locked up in a cage,
Strangled in a fit of rage!
I shall spend tonight working on the second verse.
Oh, I am *quite* overcome with emotion, please forgive me...
Vicky
How about ...
Oh! My little feathered friend
What a way to meet your end
No dignity was giv'n to you
They could at least have made a stew
Andrea
Oh! Phyllis would have loved that, bless 'er!
Well DONE, Vicky.
Flash
oh little bird with little beak
your little heart with little beats
your little wings do little sweeps
your little eyes, seen more than me
your little song is oh so sweet
i nearly dance along the street
Andrea
Hmmmm....I feel an anthology coming on...
Flash
Maybe even a Ornithology. he he ho ho ha ha
no one's laughing are they?
freda
Albino budgie
feathery as a cloud
your jubilant chirrup
unusually loud
coincided with my PMT ..........
Oh little Sparky
R.I.P!

I laughed.
Rachel
For Thursday afternoon fun, type the words to your Phyllis odes here
And see what happens...
[%sig%]
Andrea
Aww, look what it said!
Poor Phyllis, she'd be devastated...
Andrea
Oooh, dear, just gives you default page.
Well, basically it said it didn't recognise my words...*sob*
Where, oh where, did I go wrong??

Little Bird
Weighs next to nuffing
What you need
Is Paxo stuffing
[%sig%]
Andrea
Quails are very small an' sweet,
Roasted, though there ain't much meat.
Choose a chicken, don't be hasty,
Cooked with Bisto, nice an' tasty!
Vicky
What about an owl or two
Cooked nice and slowly in a stew?
Or have you tried rare penguin ribs?
Just the ticket, and no fibs.
I like a bit of ostridge thigh
Or hummingbird and cuckoo pie
My favourite though it must be said
Is parrot toasted on white bread
Flash
Murderer's, how is all this fowl slaughtering going to intice Phyllis back to the fold, i bet she's choking on a digestive reading this carnage.

OK
