ROTTEN CHERRIES
Mike Berger, PhD
WHAP! !
The kitchen window resounded.
I rush to see
what had happened.
Flopping around haplessly a blackbird
lay on the deck.
It was struggling to right itself.
Under the old cherry tree
blackbirds were devouring
fermented black cherries.
They squawk incessantly.
Those blackbirds were getting drunk.
How did I know?
Several were trying doing loop-d- loops
and flying upside down.
