Roosters and Other Birds of A Feather

Angry.
Shaking my furious, frustrated fist at a world gone wrong.
Been going on for far too long.
Four down and one up.
An empty cup.
A one finger salute.
A gesture that screams mute.
No matter.
I cannot win.
Taking my ball and going home.
Refusing to concede to what they do in Rome.
Boo hoo.
The world has more middle feathers than I do ...
