Selfish

  I saw a small group of pigeons eating popcorn someone had dumped on the sidewalk. There was one pigeon that didn't want to share. It was his popcorn. No one else could have any. He would
peck at a pigeon and make him stopped eating. Behind His back, the other pigeons ate away.
He would turn and stopped them. Every time his back was turned, the other pigeons ate. He was so busy trying to keep his pals from sharing his popcorn, he never got a bite. All the others were content. He never was and he went hungry. In the long run, selfishness just doesn't pay.

Coo Coo

Last year I took my break at the outside table. When I sat down I heard a coo. Not a soft coo, but a hard coo. Like the pigeon was saying, get off my cloud!!! Every day when I took my break, he was there, giving me the evil eye. I wouldn't budge. I had a right to be there and there I would be. When the weather turned cold I took my break inside. This year when the weather warmed up again I went back out and he was there. The fight was on. So be it. I will not be moved. I would win this.The next day I was ready to stand my ground, but he didn't coo. He wasn't alone. He had a girlfriend. He was sharing his space. Hostilities had ceased. Armistice had been declared. Peace was at hand. I'm going miss our little tussle, but I am always glad when someone finds love. It makes the world a better place. Bye.
