Subject: Maxine's Bird Feeder

 

I love Maxine. she irreverently hits the nail on the head, time after time.  

       

             

                  Leave it to Maxine to come up with a solution for the mess that America is in now 


                  I bought a bird feeder. I hung
                  it on my back porch and filled
                  it with seed. What a beauty of
                  a bird feeder it was, as I filled it 
                  lovingly with seed. Within a
                  week we had hundreds of birds
                  taking advantage of the
                  continuous flow of free and
                  easily accessible food.

                  But then the birds started
                  building nests in the boards
                  of the patio, above the table,
                  and next to the barbecue. 

                  Then came the poop. It was
                  everywhere: on the patio tile,
                  the chairs, the table .
                  everywhere!

                  Then some of the birds
                  turned mean. They would
                  dive bomb me and try to
                  peck me even though I had
                  fed them out of my own
                  pocket.

                  And others birds were
                  boisterous and loud. They
                  sat on the feeder and
                  squawked and screamed at
                  all hours of the day and night
                  and demanded that I fill it
                  when it got low on food.

                  After a while, I couldn't even
                  sit on my own back porch
                  anymore. So I took down the
                  bird feeder and in three days
                  the birds were gone. I cleaned
                  up their mess and took down
                  the many nests they had built
                  all over the patio.

                  Soon, the back yard was like
                  it used to be .... quiet, serene....
                  and no one demanding their
                  rights to a free meal.

                  Now let's see.
                  Our government gives out
                  free food, subsidized housing,
                  free medical care and free
                  education, and allows anyone
                  born here to be an automatic
                  citizen.

                  Then the illegals came by the
                  tens of thousands. Suddenly
                  our taxes went up to pay for
                  free services; small apartments
                  are housing 5 families; you
                  have to wait 6 hours to be seen
                  by an emergency room doctor;
                  your child's second grade class is
                  behind other schools because
                  over half the class doesn't speak
                  English.

                  Corn Flakes now come in a
                  bilingual box; I have to
                  'press one ' to hear my bank
                  talk to me in English, and
                  people waving flags other
                  than 'Old Glory' are
                  squawking and screaming
                  in the streets, demanding
                  more rights and free liberties.

                  Just my opinion, but maybe
                  it's time for the government
                  to take down the bird feeder.. 

                  If you agree, pass it on; if not,
                  continue cleaning up the poop.
