Bird Poop

Someone at work sent me this really cute forward. Instead of forwarding it to all of you, I thought I'd just post it here for you to see and comment on how cute it really is. Don't you just hate having to PUSH 1 FOR ENGLISH? What a pain. Too bad about the carpal tunnel.

THIS SAYS IT ALL

Take Down the Bird Feeder

(picture of Maxine)

The analogy is absolutely right on...
Maxine tells it like it is!

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed.

Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table, everywhere! Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be.... quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let's see. Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop.

Dear Friend Who I Haven't Really Talked to in 6 Years,
We had fun times when we used to work together. And remember that time we ran into each other a couple of years after your wedding and exchanged numbers? You know, just in case we ever wanted to hang out, although we really don't have a lot in common and never really socialized that much before? Don't get me wrong. I think you're really great. But I have to say that I'm just a little disappointed. I was thrilled to hear from you after all this time. There's nothing I love more than random calls out of the blue from old friends. I thought you were inviting me to a mutual former co-worker shower of some kind or just thinking about me and wanting to get together, which would have been just really a treat! But just for future reference, friend, when it's to invite me over to present me with a business venture...odds are I'm gonna be less excited. Thanks but no.

Love,
Kristy
