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,

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 English.

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!
