And the story:
Have you ever thought about what vexes the city wildlife around you? What affronts the skunk? What ruffles the birds feathers? What languishes the langouste? (ok maybe not the langouste)
Do you wonder what they gather to ruminate about in th...e dark of the night? Well last night I stumbled upon such a convergence of critters. And this is how it played out....
It was that time again. For the stray cats, the opossums and the neighborhood creatures alike, to gather and discuss local goings on.
Last week Travis the turtle was scolded for being out of compliance with critter law. (it's rumored he was hot rodding) Rick the cantankerous blue jay, was arguing with Linda bird about nesting territory. They were squabbling so that they nearly annihilated the whole nesting area.
Knowing that a lack of reciprocity ruins friendships, James the skunk was at a lose. They were approaching a troglodytic existence. So he conferred with Jené, the wise neighborhood owl and to come up with a solution. She paced back and forth pondering their dilemma. And even thought James tried to remain on task her callipygian rear end made for quite the distraction!
Just then I stepped on a dry branch, bringing attention to my dark corner of the yard. I hustled into the house. I couldn't believe what I had just seen!
The next day I went to the side of the house and left some nuts and berries for the vegetarians animals and some ground beef for the carnivorous ones. Just as a peace offering for disturbing their world.
So never assume you're alone. Some where there is someone watching. Even if it's just the birds....
Authors note: This was a bit thrown together. Hope you enjoy still enjoyed it.
