The Bird Feeder
I bought a bird feeder. I hung
It on my patio and filled
It lovingly with seed. It was indeed a beautiful bird feeder.
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 bird shit. It was
Everywhere; on the patio tiles,
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 other 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 governments give out
Free food, free housing,
Free medical care, and free
Education and allows anyone
Born here to get automatic
Citizenship.

And so the illegals come by
The millions. Suddenly
Our taxes go up to pay for the
Free services; small apartments
Are housing 5 or more families; you
Have to wait 6 hours to be seen by a doctor

Because it is filled with illegal non tax payers;
Your child's year 12 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 ours are
Squawking and screaming
In the streets, demanding
that we change our way of life.

Its just my opinion but:
Maybe, just maybe,
it's time for the government
To take down the damn bird feeder.
If you agree, pass it on; if not keep cleaning up the shit!
