They’re Back Again!

Well, they’re back again! Th’ megapodiidae, or 

alectura lathami; brush turkeys in other words, 

we cannot feign being pleased - they’re ruddy 

pests who’re utterly impervious t’ suggestions 

they really aint welcome - geeze, there’s gotta 

be limits t’ how many times one has t’ tell ‘em, 

go away - you’ve 10,000 acres at your beck n’ 

call on the other side of that garden fence you 

deem The Gateway to Heaven. We’re pleased 

t’ inform you that digging up our gardens isn’t 

your natural role & we are not here t’ feed you 

grain - all we get in return’s a few terse grunts 

suggesting they’re going to complain a whole 

lot louder if we don’t restrain our belligerence 

Their attitude suggests we’re the cause of our 

own demise - altho’ we try to keep eco-sense 

alive and active, its not ‘their reference-frame’ 

and th’ game fails to have any commonsense 

they agree too; maybe we will have t’ arrange 

th’ re-institution of a ‘guard-dog’ impediment
