Some tough young punk with dreadlocks
Was walking down the sidewalk while texting
And got frightened when he was buzzed
By a hummingbird
Saying “oh shit”
He ducked, but then looked all around
To make sure no one saw him
Of course, I was laughing
And he started toward me
But then got buzzed again
And again he ducked, saying
“Shit, shit”
Then he just looked at me
As if to say, “Look, just
“Call off the hummingbirds
Will you?”
So, I did
