A selection of Various Birds
Teenage Blues
Jerome was like many teenagers; he was beginning to question his parent’s authority. He could understand them not wanting him to wear a hoodie–it did make it tough to fly–but why did he have to eat only sunflower seeds? How about some pizza or a Big Mac once in a while, and how about a skateboard?. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Lip Gloss?
Annette knew she was a class act–she had been told this since she was a kid–but she wanted to be the best she could be when applying for that new job, and something was just off a little bit; maybe a different lip gloss?. . . . David, Sf.G.
Mesmerized
Jimmy and Sandie, while touring Washington DC, heard a persuasive voice blaring from a portable sound system. The speaker’s delivery was so mesmerizing that they just couldn’t tear themselves away. When they finally got clear and tried to analyze what they had heard they agreed that it had sounded good at the time, but in retrospect they were uncertain as to just what was said. They were trying to decide if the speaker was a televangelist, a politician, or Billy Mays, back from the dead . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Early Morning Yoga Class
Tammi (center) was wishing three things–first, that she had not had that last glass of wine last night; second, that Yoga class wasn’t at 5:30 AM; and last, that Claudia (left–and a newly-converted non-drinker) would be quiet and quit her non-stop monologue about how drinking was bad for your health . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Up, Up and Away
When the girls heard that McDonalds was again offering the McRib sandwich, suddenly eating snails, tadpoles, and minnows didn’t sound so good, All that was heard from their neighbors was a hearty “Up, Up, and away to Mickey D’s” . . . . David, Sf.G.
Down and Dirty
When Jesse announced that she was going to get into politics and run for office, her mentor and several close friends warned her that it was a down and dirty game, but she had never thought it could get this bad. . . . . David, Sf.G.
