NOAH CHRISTIE Those Starlings Right now I'm angry at a starling. The ugly dirty, and undoubtedly evil, Bird is prancing about my lawn. Well, it is not exactly my lawn. It is actually my father's. No, I guess it really must be the government's. But, then again, I suppose it is probably the world's lawn, Which may belong to God Or some other big realtor. Still, the starling is on the lawn and I am angry. Though, I think the starlings are rather pretty With their shiny spotted feathers And they do seem to groom themselves quite often, But I have heard that they are parasitic folk Who leave their eggs in the nests of other hardworking birds, Thus robbing from the rightful youth, Whoever they may be. I guess I have not seen them do that, either And I don't know so much about these other birds. Perhaps ... the starling just left, But I am still angry And now I think I see A pigeon over there. 15
