Ed's come back.

Found the chooks in front yard

- again.

I've failed to take note

- again.

The chooks are enamoured of the scratchy pine bark.

They cluck-chuckle happily when they manage to sneak in.

They know they've been caught

- again.

They know the drill well

though they fake scandalised looks

and the wing-finger-tip flurry

of horror -

hands to hair -

that housewives might pretend.

Ed

is shepherding them out.

With a fishing rod.

The neighbours are doing renos* and he's been afforded

salvage rights

(aside) people are so wasteful!

Hence fishy business soon done (wipe hands).

I -

am enjoying arvo* sun...

Ed -

has unearthed reward beer.

Caaaallllmmmm.

Bloody hell! Don't believe it! Kwwwwok! Kwok! Kwok! Kwok!
