The Birds and Cherries War

Do you remember the story about the Birds eating all my cherries? I did receive some calls and emails with suggestions. Some suggested pie tins others suggested the CD disks hung with string. I decided to call Anonymus Cowboy, Inc. They sent out a Cowboy with a big white hat and a sharp shooter on his hip. He was one of those tall broad in the shoulder and narrow in the hip Cowboys. Doesn't speak much. Just "Yes Miss, where's the tree?" And yup he came with his dog to round up all those bad birdies. That doggy circled and circled and got all the birdies up into the tree. As I watched Cowboy Jim, he circled that tree and circled that tree. He squinted his left eye and then he squinted his right eye. He curled up his left top lip, kinda looked like the Elvis curl. He pulled his hat low to shade his eyes. He pulled up his britches, actually man boxer shorts. He got his six shooter settled just right on his hips. He took the wide cowboy stance. And then he drew his six shooter faster than lightening. Immediately scaring all the birds who flew away. He nary got a shot fired. But the happy ending to the story is that we did get twenty gallons of cherries picked and canned. And there was more than enough left for Mr. Robin to eat. And they all lived happily Ever After. ps. There were no animals killed in this War
