A little birdie told me...

~just a lark

A little birdie told me

    that you'd be true,

I fell hook, line and sinker

    flipp'd me sideways

                  & uʍop ǝpᴉsdn

     now I'm blue,             home all alone

      sitting in my best underwear,

     uncaged feathers tickling my ears

  someone steer'd that critter wrong

          when I get that fibber back in tow

   there's gonna be some mighty divine stew

snoopy on da sax...you should listen to da lil birdie... especially when he's wearin shades... Frieda... seems like these birdies have all the fun... I love the 'upside down' thats the way it should be when you fall in love... like crazy bird, like cool cat, like all dat!!! and birdie chowder!!!
ps: I did peek and the reason you didn't see me was cause I was upside down... er.. ~~red(insideout)zone

[Frieda P]

You're right curt, I don't know where my silly head was....birdie chowder, I like that better, why didn't I think of that?

[redzone]

hmmm maybe its the 'upside down blues'... lol... but Frieda, stewed, fried, pickled.. wait is that a pun??? don't think that birdie has to worry, its the redzone thats in deep hot water... (but loving every second... think you might share some of that stew for a hungry cooljazz?? or as Snoopy's birdie frieds says ""pfffts "fsaats" or something like that.. "

[m.s.early]

the upside down copy is very cool. and i know well enough that when a woman is in her best underwear that she was expecting something...

well it goes to show... sometimes expectations are for the birds :)

[Frieda P]

Haha exactly xavier I should change that last line to 'divine goose. ;-) Thanks muchly.

[paddy d daly]

Cook it up girl, cook up that stew, i'll bring the moonshine and a motley crew...

[Frieda P]

Woo, now we have a party!! Never had moonshine, oh yeah............

[paddy d daly]

moonshine from the west of ireland, the hills of connemara, its the real stuff, we call it poitin, pronunced putcheen

[Frieda P]

Sounds deadly even...bring it!

[paddy d daly]

deadly is the word...or even sometimes lethal but only if you dont the right people!

[Frieda P]

Can we soak the big mouth birdie in it? haha :-)

[paddy d daly]

we can soak mostly anything in it, but not the big mouth birdie, who the hell would bring us the news!!!!

[Frieda P]

Ha this one only brings uʍop ǝpᴉsdn bad news...!

[paddy d daly]

maybe bad news comes better umop episbu....damn I tried,,, how do u do that?

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Quite the gossip this little bird, well done!

[Frieda P]

Thanks love, glad you enjoyed.

Kaze~

Birdies just like the sound of their own chirping; best to pay no mind to what they sing. As my father would say, they don't have lips, just little peckers...

[Frieda P]

LOL I love it, little peckers....thanks for the larf Rita. ;-)

[Linda alexander]

Great Frieda, loved it, facts expressed in simple eleven lines, can I call it as real talent

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your visit and review, much appreciated Linda.

[Linda alexander]

You welcome, take care

[redflutterby]

Let's not forget that I have a gun...would you like my no trespassing sign as well? The best thing to do with dirty birds is wring their lying little necks!! I'll bring some nice wine to go with that stew...red or white?? Ha....

[Frieda P]

Hahaha laughing here, sure bring both, leave the cannoli, don't forget the gun......bang bang. ;-)

[redflutterby]

Ha....love that line!!!;-)

[Frieda P]

Epic, I know.....it's a classic, how many times have you heard it, well not quite the way I put it...haha

[redflutterby]

Ha...probably over a hundred!! Ive seen the movie too many times to count! Lol...

[Brittany Zedalis]

This is great. uʍop ǝpᴉsdn wasn't something I was expecting, and it's very creative.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Brittany, was just messing around, thought that'd be fun. :-)

[Gleb Zavlanov]

uʍop ǝpᴉsdn. Absolutely innovative! Once again, your poetry shines with a peerless glory! A 100++

[Frieda P]

¡¡¡puǝıɹɟ ʎɯ ɥɔnɯ os noʎ ʞuɐɥʇ

[Gleb Zavlanov]

:D. No problem. It was my pleasure.

[Frieda P]

Hahaha...grazie ;-)

[Tam Warink]

Uh, uh... OK, I just have to give this one a 100+ because you mentioned a nice color (blue), included the word "underwear" and startled my po'Lil eyeballs with "uʍop ǝpᴉsdn" print! Not to mention the bilateral symmetry of the lingerie twins. What's not to love?

100 suʍop ǝpᴉsdn

[Frieda P]

Ha you know my next poem is going to be about blue lingerie, now dontcha my man? Grazie mille, sideways and suʍop ǝpᴉsdn ...
