Once, a long time ago, Jane and I were sitting on the bench,
near the park, doing one of those silly contests of ours
when all of the sudde- wait.
yesterday they announced on the TV that an ostrich got loose
from the city zoo, and i'm thinking yea, an ostrich, what's
the big freaking deal? and to my complete surprise, the TV
anchor lady said that the ostrich is EXTREMELY, TERRIBLY,
dangerous!
So... back to the bench, me and Jane, off in our silly
contest, when all of a sudden Jane's book flies from her
hand and when i turn to see what the hell just happened i
see Jane, holding her eye, trying to stop the bleeding, and
this huge monster of an ostrich, looking so proud and
carnivorous, with an eye in it's mouth.
And from that day forth, me and Jane, eye-patch, eye-less,
eye-eatenbyanostrich Jane, we just sit there on the bench,
in that park, not trying to see who's the first to finish
today's book, since after all, it's not a fair fight.
