Desiccated and sere a blob of bird poop right here
in the center of the windshield.
The bucket, rag and soap; now it’s clean, for good we hope.
Wring the rag, swirl the pail, toss the water in the grass.
Awk! What iridescent flash o’er my head did I see pass?
Grackle Bomber in a dive on the scene does now arrive.

Dead-center hit.
The windshield again besmeared with it.
The End

Ha! That's life in a beautiful area that includes trees and gardens.
Grackles can be nasty in that way. I remember watching one make a deposit in a woman's hair in the open-air restaurant where we were having lunch.
Vee, minor aggravation, major beauty.
Chuck, eau d' ignominy. Glad it was someone else, weren't you?
Oh yes. Very glad indeed.
