Sundays, after breakfast
we go to the park instead of church.
The park did not invite us
and felt put upon.
Its interest was in birds
especially flocks.
Enough of us responded
to meet-up text messages
that we began to resemble
a flock of geese.
The park complained
our outfits were not uniform
and the girls should not be wearing
manly bright mating colors.
In an effort to appease the park
we began singing
love songs to attract a mate
though none of us
intended to nest
where the park could observe
eggs hatching
or the antics of fledglings.
