Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for February 26, 2025

Well, Gladys, you ain’t no love bird yourself.

Paradise lost is more like it.

COCK-OF-THE-ROOST=PROUD AND CONCEITED!

You misunderstood. I’m a bird of a pair o’ dice. And the dice were not kind to me this year.

May the Bird of Paradise fly up your nose.[Verse 1]One fine day as I was a-walkin’ down the streetSpied a beggar man with rags upon his feetTook a penny from my pocketIn his tin cup I did drop itI heard him say as I made my retreat

[Chorus]“May the bird of paradise fly up your noseMay an elephant caress you with his toesMay your wife be plagued with runners in her hoseMay the bird of paradise fly up your nose”

[Verse 2]My laundry man is really on his toesFound a hundred-dollar bill among my clothesWhen he called me I came runnin’Gave him back his dime for phonin’And I heard him sayin’ as I turned to go

[Chorus]“May the bird of paradise fly up your noseMay an elephant caress you with his toesMay your wife be plagued with runners in her hoseMay the bird of paradise fly up your nose”See upcoming country showsGet tickets for your favorite artists

[Verse 3]I was way behind one day to catch a trainThe taxi driver said, “We’ll make it just the same”A speed cop made it with usAnd as he wrote out the ticketI stood by politely waitin’ for my change

[Chorus]“May the bird of paradise fly up your noseMay an elephant caress you with his toesMay your wife be plagued with runners in her hoseMay the bird of paradise fly up your nose

[Outro]“May the bird of paradise fly up your noseMay an elephant caress you with his toesMay your wife be plagued with runners in her hoseMay the bird of paradise fly up your nose”

That was in my youth….I’m not up to all the fluttering now
