The Magpie and The Crow Blues

If you’ve ever heard the Magpie in the morning or seen the Crow at night, you’ll know how great a bi-ped really can be. I have a lot of time for both and I won’t be swayed by any fracas they might find themselves in. I’ll back up my belief with deed, if need be. The Magpie is really a friendly and confident character, that if you ever study, will be revealed as a warm and kind critter. I've watched them rear their young, they are proud parents. The worms might disagree, the post-modern crickets and cicadas too. The Magpie has a beak, and feathers that can be ruffled. The Crow will often find itself doing things that societies find disagreeable. It's intelligence and imagination has me aghast, at times. It also has a beak and feathers. When you find a diamond in a shit-heap you can overlook a few flaws. Complex creatures they can be, certainly. They can pluck the eyes out of new-born lambs. Despite any fights they might have, they’ll always be relatively similar species, in my estimations. Even if they peck at each other like hens in a coop, I’d like to be able to consider myself a friend to both winged wascals. The Crow and the Magpie: birdbrains.

Hehe,
Nothing complex about me Norm.
The great thing about having no standards is you can't double them.

Joe,
Let's make the post-modern crickets croak.

Cicadas I can sympathise with. I spend most of my time motionless (in my case on the floor in front of the box) only to go out into a hostile world with the hope of being unnoticed.

We're all of one feather, let's stick it to the maggots.
Norm.

Hey Norm, just wanted to comment that I liked this one. My fave bit was:

Adrian, I'd say that if I was to be a bird I'd like to be a peacock...in my dreams....maybe a bowerbird?
Norm.
