BLOODY KILLERS
It is now the penultimate day before ‘ The Inglorious Twelfth — that day when the very moneyed people think is a great day to blast defenseless birds out of the sky. They call it sport — I don’t.
This is my take on what a Red Grouse might think … I wrote it in 2016 but this ‘sport’ still exists to the detriment of our natural flauta and fauna.
NATURAL ENEMIES?
natural enemies! pa-ah!
"they don't exist no more",
but we watch the skies, just
in case... you never know.
humans come and leave
things. We peck at stuff
and then there's that bunch
of feathers tied to the post.
It's really scary, that,
and the unseeing eye
socket scares us all,
but hey-ho
we eat our way
to plumpness:
good enough to eat -
and THEN...
