My boyfriend told me that it was either him or Miguel

My long-time feathered friend, my lover could no longer stand

He said he’d had enough of the Fowl’s foul language

The final straw was what Miguel called his blessed mother

So my soulmate told me, under no circumstance could the bird stay

He made his points quite clear, there is no place for misunderstanding

So I come to you and offer you first dibs on a deal of a lifetime

A bestowment like this only happens once in a Blue Moon

I can only give on a first come first serve basis, so hurry fast

All interested parties send a DM quickly, this deal won’t last

FREE TO A GOOD HOME one male who thinks he’s more important than Miguel

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Tough choice, Sharon. Might have gone with the bird, depending on how Miguel treated me! LOL!

    I love how you ended this. I would have ended it the same. Well done you ❤️✍️🏆😆

    Lol, that feather friend must stay 🤣 ❤️I can relate to this poem. I did not even see why I considered marrying him when he wanted me to get rid of my precious dog who was like my child. This brought back some unpleasant memory but I keep my dog and divorced him. 😁

    Hehe, I’ll pass, I ain’t given up my pride and joy for no man who doesn’t care about my happiness. If he came with a couple thousands I might consider. But other than that put your ex in the streets.

  • Ugh, Miguel is a jerk. Loved this!

    Hysterical! Does Miguel do dishes? 🤣 I needed a good laugh!

  • I choose the bird!! This was cute, clever and spot on
