The Wisdom of Maxine

I seldom post things from emails, but this one has to be shared!

Maxine and the Bird Feeder


I bought a bird feeder and hung It on my back porch and filled
It with seed. What a beauty of a feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed.

Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started
building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table,
and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop!

It was everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table .
Everywhere!


Then some of the birds turned mean.

They would dive bomb me and try to peck me
even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And others birds were boisterous and loud.

They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at
all hours of the day and night
And demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch.

So I took down the feeder and in three days
the birds were gone!
I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built
all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be... quiet, serene

And no one demanding their rights to a free meal.


Now let's see...

Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care, and free
education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.

Suddenly
our taxes went up to pay for all the "free" services;
small apartments are housing 5 families;

you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor;

Your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because
over half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box;

I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English,

and
people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming In the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to Take down the Bird Feeder!

If you agree, pass it on;
if not....

Continue cleaning up the poop!
