Birds (My first poem and a little profane.)

Birds

You shit on my roof
Why so aloof
You shit on my hair
What do you care

You shit from afar
Covered my car
You shit while you fly
Smack in my eye

You shit on my deck
What the heck
You shit on my coat
Why should you gloat

You shit where you will
Whether moving or still
You shit from down low, you shit from up high
In spite of it all, we still love you, sigh

nuclear war our feathered friends waged on my car a couple weeks ago the day after I cleaned and polished it, all nice and shiny.

I didn't know birds could eat so much.
