Crows
by carolynholm
Dear Mom,
I took care of the crow situation for you. I ordered them to get out of the birdbath.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Thank you, sweetie. But they’ll be back.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Yesterday you called them a bunch of low-lifes.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Because they left greasy rib bones in the birdbath.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I’d like some rib bones!!!!!! Why didn’t you give them to me?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I didn’t think of that. But anyway, those bones were picked clean.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
They like to bring their lunch to picnic in our garden.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
They do. I like crows, they’re smart and interesting. But I wish they wouldn’t leave their trash in our birdbath. The other day there was a mayonnaise packet floating in the water. Surrounded by an oil slick. Disgusting.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
They are also very noisy animals. They do a lot of yelling together.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
They do. I wish I knew what they were shouting.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
They are probably saying that humans leave trash everywhere, so it must be okay.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Touché.
Love, Carolyn
