Liner Notes

Nice prompt again Robin. Unfortunately I have to leave soon, so just the one for this skirmish. I think I managed to fit quite a few of the words from your list, although not all...

Lyrics

You always look your best

When your mind is blank
You think that I’m just blind
Or not that way inclined

Cos I don’t like to boast

Advice I read in a book
It can break the moment
It can spoil the dance
You do something to me
Put me in a trance

We’re birds of a feather
We should flock together
Just crows on a telephone line
Hanging out in style
We should just take flight

Travel through the night

We’re birds of a feather
Me and you.

Great take on the prompt. I love how you combined the bird words from the list into a love song.

That’s a good choice for a title, and it really means something by the time we get to the end. Nice story about being misunderstood and setting things straight.

Cool, it's got a kind of tin-pan alley classic pop vibe.

Nice jaunty tune, nice work fitting in those words. Just a lovely story, great skirmish.
