Teenage Osprey Angst

Post by saw » July 6th, 2008, 8:22 am

My parents are driving me insane
with all their lectures and these chores.
Look at those lazy-ass ballyhoo
dancing across the top of the water

on their tails like they got
nuthin better in the world to do
while I'm up here get my freakin' beak
twisted off dealing with wind shear,

fighting these god-damned gusts
trying to score some brunch
to shut Mom and Dad's mouths,
the nerve sending me out in these

swirling winds, I'd rather fly into
a thirty knot headwind than deal with
these twists and turns, but at least the sun
feels good on my back and the visibility

is great today, hell, I can see a dime
at two hundred feet, but I am soooooo
sick of freaking fish, sushi schmoooshi,
makes me wanna dive down there

and plunge my talons into that fisherman's
head and suck his brains out,
just for a change of pace, why should
zombies have all the fun,

and what does Daddy know, he grew up
in the sticks and he just keeps harpin',
if you start killing humans, every boater
from Key Largo to Key West

will be packin' buckshot.
That's how outta touch he is,
if he had any skysmarts like me
he'd be a lot more worried about

those guys from C.S.I. Miami,
a week doesn't go by that they fail
to nab the killer and it would be
just my luck to get caught,

I'd be the laughing stock
of fish hawks.....
the first bird in my family
to be caged.
