sure, sure I like to escape
does that make me flaky ? as you
consider my reluctance to get aboard
does it make me, The Biggest Loser

oh, you thought it was dieting show

am i too stupid to love a righteous logo
too stubborn to batten down the yapper
too moronic , naive to join the A-team
an undercover, overall, freak of nature

yes yes indeed...nature! I say
it's natural to worship corporate cock
they tell me on the billboards to the stars
so I have to admit, I must be a freak

cockle doodle doodle dooo
I'll kiss you with my beak

I'm a freakbird, no not freebird, ...freakbird
never met Mr. Skynyrd,....just an aging freakbird
crowin' like a lonesome old, unemployed rooster
that never could wake anybody up

a freak, to the "natural" way
of doing things, hangin on by my puny talons
way out here on the end of this branch
not a damn thing I can do about it

[constantine]

me too! we throw up our wings in dismay, but we still keep flying!

the rooster clucks defiance,
and who else will write of this
if not you?

[hester_prynne]

Smilingly good read!
Nodding my head.

just an aging freakbird
crowin' like a lonesome old, unemployed rooster
that never could wake anybody up

chuckled at the above lines.
