The Bird Who Wanted To Steal My Pie.

He perched on my table, staring at me through mischievous eyes,

He cocked his head to one side; he was ever so sly,

He flapped his wings as I took one bite of my pie,

He then pretended to fly into the sky!

He waddled in closer, thinking I wouldn't see,

"Oh, you stupid little bird, your food is in the sea!"

He squawked at me,

"Give us a bite!

"Fuck off!" I replied,

"You're not stealing my pie!"

The bird laughed hard at me

"Ha! Ha! Try to stop me!"

He flew away, but he came back,

And with my hand, I gave him a thwack!

He stared at me with one beady eye,

And I attempted to cover my pie;

But the thief, he waited until my back was turned,

Then the thieving bastard swooped down and,

Stole my pie!
