Two old birds:
‘We warned him.’
‘Always late for everything.’
‘Oh, he is. He is.’
‘Can’t believe he missed his flight.’
‘He never did give a hoot about anything.’
‘No, never did.’
‘Well, he’ll have to learn.’
‘Expect he’s up a tree somewhere learning right now.’
‘Still though, hate to see him end up on a plate.’
‘On a plate? Would you eat him?’
‘Well, no. Still. Some that would.’
‘Sure, sure. Some that would.’
‘I bet it was that chick.’
‘How?’
‘She ruffled his feathers.’
‘Oh, quiet you old crow.’
‘It’s true.’
‘I don’t like what you’re suggesting.’
‘I’d stay home too, for a hen like that.’
‘Would not.’
‘Would too.’
‘Then you really are a silly goose.’
‘Now that’s enough. You just focus on the flying.’
