my life as a artist
dig those crazy chicks
Sunday 8th June 2008 11:29 PM
Les Miserable kindly points out that odd-ball-odd Bill Oddie says that chick-tits can choke on peanuts. I'd heard that too, but assumed they'd be grown up enough by now to have molars, or at least access to a small magi-mix. Aware that there maybe some late hatchers, however, I keep a pair of tweezers and a bottle of rescue remedy next to my bed, in case I'm woken in the night by the distinctive, pitiful sound of choking chick-tits.
The fact is Les, I've decided that I'm going to close down both branches of 'Just Peanuts', just as soon as present stocks have been used up. Besides being a tit-mum's nightmare, The R.S.P.B says they can be quite high in natural toxins, and it's just not cost-effective, or fun, to test for aflotoxin at my age. (I'm fifty-one, I'm losing 50p a week, and each week seems to go by quicker)
I don't think dangling fat-balls is/are seemly, or a good name for a restaurant, so I'll probably open another couple of seed joints. The green, plastic internet, that hangs off the cyber-tree, says that nyjer seeds attract siskins and goldfinches, (which I haven't seen yet), and it says that robins and wrens go wild for mealworms, so I might have to brush up on my regurgitation skills.
Tom wants a haiku
Something about high class birds,
Fat balls and great tits
I know it hasn't got a 'season' word in it, Tom, to make it an authentic haiku, but the dodgy sixties 'birds and tits' stuff gives it an oppressive masculinity, that for me, locates it at a time of solar dominance, like that typically found around the summer solstice. A little bird once told me that desires are like feathers. You can use them to fly, he said, or put them in a pillow-case, and sleep on them.

The "season word" is missing, like our summer.
p.s Shouldn't "great tits" be capatalized?

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Nothing like a fine pair of Parus Major to put you in the mood for a Phalacrocorax Aristotelis.
