These birds these beautiful birds
They look good enough to eat
And the neighbor working on his barn
We always joke it would make a nice fire
My roof leaks and I can’t find the source
But I always blame the squirrels
I wish I knew what my grandpa knew
About fixing the sink and all other things
But this year this year is the year
That I learn to bake a cake
And darn my holy socks
And get that squirrel out of my walls
Things are only getting weirder
I can’t remember a warmer winter
I’m not speaking to my dad
And I’m bracing for civil war
I know I know you were only being generous
Sorry your foot ended up in my mouth
I rarely have guests
And I hop that you’ll come back
I used to be a boxer a skinny pimpled boxer
But I couldn’t take a punch
That’s always been my problem in life
I could never take a punch
