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 is, 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
illegals 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
2nd grade class is behind other
schools because over half the
class doesn't speak
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, continue
cleaning up the poop!
