voices raised in argument
such a #kerfuffle
I simply roll my eyes and
just do what I was doing.
When the starlings took the stage, chainsaws, ringtones and sheep sounded from the trees.
An exotic symphony enveloped the area until the magpies came and caused a #kerfuffle. They railed at the stars of the scene, who talked back to them ... in magpie.
Guess who won?
