PART ONE: "We have a lush in our flock!"
"I'm freezing my tail feathers
on this cold
winter's day"
said Izzy
with confusion
in the first week of May.
"I thought April
was the end
of the snow and the ice
but Mother Nature
fooled us
when she rolled the dice."
Lizzy piped in
and had
to agree
"Before it hits the ground
I notice
my frozen pee!"
Mizzy reminded everyone
"that our bellies
need to filled"
but Lizzy spotted
a vintage
which was already chilled.
Mizzy reminded Lizzy
"to cut back
on the wine
and your urinary problems
will be just fine."
Lizzy professed
to be a connoisseur
of the delicious grape on the vine
and once she got the cork
pulled out of the bottle
the contents were "mine, mine, mine!"
"Oh Lizzy you're such a souse
and a big hog
too"
exclaimed Frizzy
in a pout
as her hissy fit grew.
Now Frizzy
was the patriarch
and had to confess
when she asked
Lizzy Junior
if she considered AAS?
"Alcoholics Anonymous
for Sparrows
you see
is the only way
troubled birds
can truly be free."
Tizzy was the philosopher
who always
saw the light
and that innocent little sparrows
often fall prey
to their plight.
"You see humans throw us
scraps and crumbs
and sometimes cheese
but when it comes
to over imbibing
we don't need their social disease."
