A Maxim by Maxine

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 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. 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

and 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; your child's second 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.

well said my man!

Only thing you can do is take down the feeder because the birds can't won't change!
