The Bird Feeder
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back
porch and filled it 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.
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 lets 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 illegal's 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: yourchild'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.
Maybe it's time for the government to take
down the bird feeder.
