That's Show Biz

Missing image

Trio feathered act

of parroting show

zoo's favorite draw,

until budget cuts

demanded trimming group

by one.

 

Birds outdoing

each other's performance,

avoiding ending as choice

for being adopted by aviary lover

with taxidermy as hobby

after hearing him mentioned

needing one more stuffed addition

to complete collection.

    This is excellent-smile- I wonder if this could be a brother act, awaiting tour dates? I laugh through this to that great ending. The length suits the subject, and the humor suits me.

    Yes, I raise birds too. Mallards, chickens, cockatiels...name em, I have em. Most people think it's a little strange to see us out walking our ducks on leashes, or seeing them waddling around our yard, like they own the place,and the place is alive with quacks and caws, but I love em. They don't live in a cage, like parrots
    and they don't mimic and drive me crazy chattering
    Made me smile,
