Teenage Osprey Angst

[saw]

my parents are driving me insane
with all their bullshit lectures and chores
look at all those lazy-ass ballyhoo
dancing across the top of the water

on their freakin' tails like they
got nuthin' better to do while
I'm up here gettin' my goddamn beak
twisted off dealin' with wind shear

fightin' these damn gusts
trying to score a little brunch
to shut Mom and Dad's mouths,
sending me out here 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, hell

I can see a dime at two hundred feet
but I am sooooo sick of fucking fish
sushi smoooshi
makes we wanna dive on down

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

and what does Daddy know ?
he grew up in the fucking sticks and he can't
stop harpin', If you start killin' humans he says
every boater from Key Largo to Key West

will be packin' buckshot
that's how out of touch he is
if he had half the skysmarts that I have
he'd be a hell of a lot more worried 'bout

those guys from CSI Miami, a week doesn't go by
that they fail to nab the killer
it would be just my fucking luck
to get caught

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

hehe... bullshit lectures aside, daddy was right about the buckshot thing . . .

love the idea of seeing through the eyes of another species. often thought about trying to go there, but never actually wrote anything...

Very good.
