The Bird Feeder . . .

The Bird Feeder . . .

The analogy
is absolutely
right on ! ! !

Maxine tells it
like it is ! ! !

Brief


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 was,
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 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 government gives out
free food,
subsidized housing,
free medical care,
free education and
allows anyone born here
to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came . . .
by the MILLIONS.

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, then just continue
cleaning up the poop ! ! !
