Me ol’ mate raised the stakes today - before 6 am
he is outside grousing vociferously about ingrates
who come around scratching in his patch; that it’s
a brush-turkey matters not a wit, nor the fact its in
league with feral birdlife who’ve made his job that
much more complex - so he’s out there copiously
peeing on any bushes & shrubs it’s scratched at -
as if to say - do it again and that’s what you’ll get
While I’d agree he’s showing his proprietary idea
of who’s in charge there’s no-one to really give it
the test it needs; around about here those who’d
progress it a modicum as such, suggest he’ll run
out well before th’ brush-turkey guesses he’s the
express target of me ol’ mate’s liquid largesse
