A bird in a tree
I didn't deserve that10 total reviews
Comment from Kelly Hanna
A humorous poem! I enjoyed the comedy of the piece. You did not deserve that! We never do. Some say it is good luck to be crapped on by a bird. I say it's good luck when the bird misses! Nice job!

Comment from Pamusart
You succeeded in making me laugh, Jen. Just so you know, due to severe back issues that cripple me, I use an iPhone for this site. It rarely displays the results of contests. So, I am glad you tell me about those posts. Is this the one that came in second. You have a real talent for funny endings. This is hilarious. But it really happened to me. There were a lot of geese where I worked and it was nesting season. Mother and father work together so each can forage. Well one pair made a nest on top of the third floor of the building. I was hurrying in one day because I was running late for a meeting. One of them stuck its rear over and it landed on top of my head. I had no car and home was too far away and meetings all day. So all I could do was wet paper towels with soap and try to wipe my head off. Thanks for reminding me. Not my best memory but admittedly funny. Thank you for sharing

It must have been a beautiful bird that you were looking at. There is a saying that when a bird poops on you it mean that you are welcomed in there house. You is a very lucky person just make sure you clean the mess. :) This is a good entry for the Write a Humorous 5-7-5

What a fun topic for this writing prompt/contest. Your 5-7-5 is nicely formatted and you have met the requirement for using your sense of humor...no one enjoys being crapped on. :) Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Air Spirit
I got such a kick out of your poem! I laughed out loud -- ain't that the truth? Somehow when a bird 'takes a dump' on you, it takes all the fun out of it!! Plus, I love Bluebird/Bluejays... they are such a trip... I love to watch them.. They have strong personalities, are very vocal, and bright... plus of course, they are beautiful! Great entry!

Haha, this is humorous in a weird way--not at the time, but when you look back on it, well it is. Good job, Mystery Author with your contest entry. Your syllables are correct per line. The picture is a good match, too. Thanks for sharing. Next time have an umbrella handy when you look, Best wishes. Jan

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is cute and very funny. I can relate to this. When we were young lads, my brother and I went into town with our family. We were walking down the sidewalk and suddenly, my brother was the recipient of some bird droppings. He cried and we tried not to laugh. I enjoyed this funny and well written poem. You should do well in the contest. Well done!

Comment from rspoet
This is an excellent 5-7-5 poem and entry for the humor contest
A frequent occurrence to anyone foolish enough to be beneath a bird in a tree
Nice inclusion of rhyme and excellent photograph.
Well done
Good luck in the contest
