Your Daily Dose of Pathos What an eventful morning! While feeding the birds, I accidentally left the door to the cage unlatched (and the door was only mostly closed). Naturally, one of the birds decides that TODAY IS THE DAY! THIS is the day that he is going to spread his wings and fly, free from the cruel shackles placed upon him by his human overlords. For approximately 45 minutes, my little avian Frank Morris leads me on a merry chase throughout the living room, kitchen, and laundry room, pausing every so often to land on some impromptu perch and look back with his beady little birdy eyes and lob looks of disdain and mockery at the fat hairless ape clumsily stumbling about and trying to rob him of his new found freedom. Relishing his ability to steal time from my schedule, the bird carries on. But this little fowl suburban dramedy is now rapidly approaching its denouement. You see, all of this is unfolding under the baleful gaze of Katie the Destroyer. Even now, the intensity of her dread power can be felt, weakening the body and saddening the heart of the escapee in Stately Holzman Manor. Finally, she has decided that enough is enough and she is going to make things better. Casually uttering Here, let me get that for you, she launches herself, a furry feline weapon of vengeance, the Fist of Khonshu incarnate, and snaps her jaws shut on birdys tiny widdle neck. In the famous words of the ever stalwart space marine Pvt. Hudson, Thats it, man. Game over, man! Game over! Final Score: Katie - 1, Birdy - 0. The first thought that passes through my mind is, Clean kill. Only four more until you make ace, girlfriend. Sigh. All that remains now is disposal of the corpse. So as I take on the role of Charon and ferry our dearly departed birdy across the Styx and into the realm of Hades, the soundtrack of my mind begins to play the next track and the sweet, sweet strains of Elton John inhabit my braincase... https://youtube/watch?v=o8ZnCT14nRc
