This is funny, I think, even though the budgie's gone. I like the way you imply what happened. Actually you don't specify whether the bird is dead or just injured but that doesn't detract from your write.
I like the form but it might be helpful if you define "quinzaine" in your notes.
Thank you for you entry. -
A slight non sequitur perhaps, methinks, already? I would love to see a budgie without a beak. How would the little f*cker eat his seed?

unfortunately it's seed eating days we sadly over there and then, the little f*cker was mangled to death.

Thanks for your entry.

(HaHaHa...) I know it's not funny, (The poor little hamster awww..) but somehow, misfortunes and antics with animals always seems to make me laugh my head off.
I think it's the expressions on their faces after something bad has happened that sets me off.
Thanks for reading :-)

lol poor little budge, makes me think of a hamster i ahd years ago it was sniffing under the door where the cat was in the next room and the cat sensed it there, and swiped its paw under the crack, it caught the hamster and ripped its eye out, not funny really at the time as i loved that little hamster but yeah i know its not a budgie and a cat but that's what your poem here made me think of
