The little buggers win every time, but that's OK.


Poem Artwork

Sighting!!!!!

 

 The California controversy rages on

I’m sure it’s related to the harvest moon

This evening I snapped a candid picture

Of the Peach Creature from the Black Lagoon

 

I know the image is a little hazy

You take the shot when you get the chance

Trying to capture a myth can be crazy

It’s a function of big foot romance

 

First my bird feeders all fell victim

To a slinky little saboteur

Now the peaches are all half eaten

By this Creature on his daily tour

 

I wouldn’t mind if he left me something

I’m perfectly willing to share the prize

But even when I’m up at dawn’s first light

I just chronicle the peach’s demise

 

So I’m stuck with a natural dilemma

The critters have all got to eat

And since I can go to the grocery store

I will graciously accept my defeat

 

For them it’s a matter of survival

They only do what they must

I’ll support local wildlife revival

Even if my harvest is a bust

Being a former peach picker from the Sacremento Valley, circa 1959/1960, I know the one thing we PP (Peach pickers for the uninformed) had to endure were those blasted, but sweet birds. The good news is that they did not flap their wings after 10am because it got too D hot to do anything.

Cheers,
Dan

It's my cherry trees that get hit by the birds
They think the trees were planted just for them LOL

They know when they are just ripe enough
That is when the cherry's are not too tough
Birds strip all the cherry trees
Leaving not a one for me

Enjoyed the write
