Verse for the Birds (Limerick and Quatrain)

Happy “National Bird Day!”

A birder who’d frequently swear
His toupée was in fact his real hair,
Was caught by a gust,
And his toupe, not just mussed,
Flew the coop, leaving pate rather bare.

*****

“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” —
People tell me that all of the time.
Such axioms give me a pain in the tush.
Were I queen, I would make them a crime.

    A Birder who’d frequently swear
    His Toupee was in fact his real hair
    He was caught by a gust so
    His head was all bared and so was his beard
    and he said that’s damn well not fair!
