Marrying Grace To Comfort



Re that bird, Black Turd:
I tied a 17 meter length of wool
to near the end of a branch of my plum
and passed it through a window.

I stretched it across the room
and down the hall to my bed,
aka my writing desk.

Now I pull it in comfort
to scare The Turd right out of its head.
