YEARS AGO, I HAD A PARAKEET NAMED BEETHOVEN. I LOVED THAT PARAKEET. NOT AT DAYBREAK. I HATED HIM THEN. CHIRPY LITTLE BASTARD. HE FOLLOWED ME ALL OVER THE HOUSE, MOSTLY HE WALKED ON THE FLOOR TO PROVE A POINT. I HAD TO KEEP HIS NAILS CLIPPED BECAUSE HE'D GET CAUGHT IN THE SHAG CARPET AND COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR LACK OF DECORATING STYLE. WE'D WATCH BARETTA TOGETHER AND HE'D COMMENT ON FRED'S OVERACTING. ( GOOGLE IT) . ONE MORNING I LOOKED IN BEETHOVEN'S CAGE AND HE WASN'T THERE. I COULDN'T FIND HIM ANYWHERE. JUST VANISHED. I WAS SO SAD. LATER, I SAT DOWN ON THE COUCH TO KNIT. AS THE YARN MADE IT'S WAY TOWARDS MY KNITTING NEEDLES THERE WAS A HUGE CLUMP IN THE YARN. THAT STUPID BIRD HAD CRAWLED INTO MY KNITTING BAG AND DIED. NOW I WAS SAD AND HORRIFIED OF YARN CRAFTS.
IT WAS DIFFICULT TO KNIT AROUND HIM BUT I MANAGED.
HE WAS A SARCASTIC BUDGIE.
LESS CHIRPY. IN MEMORY OF BEETHOVEN. |
