It was another morning.. and I could hear him coming from a quarter mile away. How could you not? A young boy screaming, (rather badly), "You Give Love a Bad Name." You Give Love a Bad Name? Really? So I sneak around his race trailer. Firstly wondering why he's headed to the barn, and second wondering where the hell the week wen't so fast that's it's already the weekend. I counted that yellow submarine driving by. It only went two days. There should be three more days of him being eaten alive and then returned and spit out!
So I hide. Is it him? Or is it another mean kid? Coming to chase me away with the pitchfork. Hunkering low, I peer under the trailer hitch. No, it's the toothless kid, sporting that wierd hair style Mistress calls a moehawk. He skips into the barn, still singing to wake the dead, and I skulk after him. He heads STRAIGHT for the end stall! No way? Are you serious, that ::gasp:: snotty little man is picking the new chicks and ducklings over me? No way? And now he's singing Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy? What's next? Chase the goose hug a duckling?
Rising up, I walk to the door and settle down as he croons to the little ones inside. Hah..little man doesn't know I am outside the door. When he opens it...I will be waiting. To flap my wings and keep him prisoner until Mistress arrives and carts him off to the big building where he tries to get smarter.
Soon, I hear him rising, and focused on him, I watch as the door opens. I hear him scream "MOM!!!" And as I prepare to open my wings and flap and berate him, SHE snakes an arm out from behind and picks me up and kisses me on the beak! She had snuck up on me! Hissing I try to explain that the boy didn't get on the submarine and snuck down here instead. She doesn't listen! She kisses me on my head and pets me like her stupid dog Seamus. You know...the chicken killer" her Jack Rusell Terror? Oh, I haven't told you about him yet? Well that's another story! She says the kids are on spring break and there will most likely be many coming to play. And that Katie has a race on Sunday and I need to be on watch again and protect Stinky. I love Stinky I cry to her.
And as the little man walks away smirking, she sets me down. And I pout outside where I jump into my pool and clean off. Mistress is here, all is well and I'm gonna swim and chill... stalking little boys is hard work. Shame I didn't get to sharpen my beak on a little boys leg today!
