Hint, Rattle, and Suggest


The strut, tail feather swag,
same wingspan different cage,
testosterone ego believes
a worn exhibition is
Romeo’s secret weapon.

Truth is when a hen
has needs she knows
which clueless lock to pick.

Drop a few hints,
rattle the bars,
pigeon superstition
will take the bait
with full flexed chest
bowing to suggestion.

I have never trusted my testosterone... probably better to live on pigeon superstition.

I like the lock picker with the clueless locks to pick. Only one will be the best inside.
