Ahh, the wonderful sights and annoying sounds of nature! I like the humor in your little poem And I like the artwork you used for it. Good luck in the contest.

Cute the the gum ball phrase. Birds are a lot like people. I dunno why they say we came from monkeys. Raucus is spelled wrong otherwise, great poem.

sound advice. Dont forget those pesky squirels that rummage through shoppomg bads you leave out. Bad enough they have to rumage through everything but when they find something they have to alert the entire camp ground.

We have possums and kangaroos here. We were bothered to bits by kangaroos the other day wanting water. They are lovely though.
Thanks for reading the poem.

Parrots No. 28 in Australia don't know what spaggies are

reply by turtledove on 31-Jan-2012

Hi, I didn't know up until I joined here. Took the spaggies course on here and it means spelling and punctuation errors, all the best, turtledove :)
