Image by Јerry via FlickrWe have two birdhouses in our yard - one can be viewed from the kitchen side and one from the study side. Unlike the picture at right, our houses hang from a little length of chain which seemed like a good idea until the heavy wind this week...funny thoughts came into my noggin -
She watches nervously from the shrubs
Wondering how whirling will affect the eggs
Like a merry-go-round in there now
Or a small, whirling, bumpy tornado
Oh dear, what were they thinking with a hook and a chain
A tilt-a-whirl, the perfect storm
Residence with my neighbors in the eaves may be the
next best nesting place - I'll need to get started on that right away
Oh well, if they fly in circles I guess it won't matter
and certainly they'll be born with a toe up on vertigo
Oh dear, oh dear, I've never sat on scrambled eggs before!

I actually had two eggs for breakfast that were supposed to be over medium but ended up scrambled.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good song for a lovely day. April days should have ditties like this.
ReplyDeleteI love the scrambled eggs part.
did you go take a peak to make sure they're still intact? love the silliness!! xo
ReplyDeleteMaureen -
ReplyDeleteMy other post was to be - a recipe for scrambled eggs. Take one birdhouse w/nest and eggs, spin rapidly in the wind - voila! (I actually think the recipe might have been funnier!)

ReplyDeleteI don't know that there are even eggs in there yet. I hope not - the nest is definitely arranged though. We'll see:)
