An Evening Stroll

I was walking my dog the other day when we ran into the magpie

“Good morning magpie”, I said
“Good morning”, the magpie said
“I LOOOOOVE GOLD”, the magpie said
“I LOOOVE SHINY THINGS”, the magpie said
“I LOVE GOLD AND SHINY THINGS AND ALUMINUM FOIL AND SILVER AS WELL AND …”,

“I know”, I said, “You’re a magpie. Magpies like that stuff”

“WE LOOOOOVE THAT STUFF MAN”, the magpie said

I nodded and went after my dog who was a bit ahead of me

“Oh”, the magpie said, “you coming to the bbq tonight?”
“I’m coming”, I said
