I just saw a sex act between two birds.

Right outside my office window.

Thank God the children weren’t present!

A lovers’ tryst it was not;

there was no post-coital smoking of cigarettes,

no afterglow reverie,

and no particular display of prowess on the boy bird’s part,

just a quick, wham bam thank you ma’m

minus the bam, brevity being the hallmark word.

Ok, there was a bit of a chase afterward;

for the guy, apparently, once wasn’t enough–

but for her, it was plenty–

expressed by the deft manner in which she gave him the slip.

Since there are no bird lawyers, as far as I can tell,

I hope paternity won’t be an issue.
