I am writing this post for the Trifextra Week 51 Writing Challenge where we are to write exactly 33 words inspired by one of three pictures. I chose the picture below.

Look at those people down there. I'll bet thousands of them are desparately trying to find a bathroom, but they're all locked up in the City. Dumbasses! I can take a dump anywhere!
Your comments are appreciated.
Also like men not having a bathroom line. Quite a view too! Fun, lumdog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gina. Yeah, I guess it's cool to not have to wait in line, but the birds still have it best!
DeleteTruth in that! Amusing
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee!
DeleteThis is a melding of the two main pigeon themes I have seen. Pooping and the freedom of the air. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThese are themes which transend all universal truths. Thanks Joe.
DeleteAs I read the posts for this particular prompt, and I read just about all of them, I am increasingly amused at the language being used. "Poop bomb", "Dumbasses", "Shat", etc. What is it about this innocent pigeon that is bringing out the potty mouth in everyone? :) lol
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess my initial response is that the pigeon is hardly innocent. He is indscriminate regarding where or on whom he drops his, uh, "droppings" (is that more delicate?) Morevoer, just read Gina's piece. I think birds have traumatized her life. As always, thanks for your comments.
DeleteThis seems to be a popular theme with the pigeon picture :D
ReplyDeleteDarn right. See, I have a dark side, after all. Thanks Draug. ;)
DeleteOk, I'm feeling very sorry now for pigeons. It's a good thing they have bird brains and have no idea or care how we see them. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph. See my rebuttal to Tom's similar expression of sympathy.
DeleteSocial norms are different for birds, I guess!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and they have no respect for us humans. Thanks Janna. ;)
Deletethis made me smile!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bo.
DeleteAlways comes down to perspective, doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteSo true. Thanks Kim.
DeleteHa. An incredible view and a bathroom wherever you need it. Pigeon heaven.
ReplyDeleteYep. They have it all! Thanks Patti.
DeleteGreat story. It was very cute but got me to thinking that animals, if they were to understand our habits, would most likely consider us insane for stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's what I was thinking. Thanks for coming by.
DeleteNice. This made me laugh. I've always wondered what the pigeons thought.
ReplyDeleteI think many writers have tried to get inside the head of a pigeon this weekend. Sounds sort of silly. ;). Thanks Wisper.
DeleteThanks for starting my day with a grin.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it made you smile. Thanks Sandra.
DeleteHa!ha!This is so funny Lumdog-enjoyed the idea thoroughly:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Atreyee.
DeleteWell said! we call them animals, even as we line up desperately in Starbucks for bathrooms.
ReplyDeleteAt leat, Starbucks doesn't lock theirs. Thanks BT.
DeleteHa! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. ;)
DeleteGreat minds think alike. Or weird minds. Or whatever it is you and I are both channeling here. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's a love of baser things. But. I was pissed when I read yours because it was so much funnier. Thanks Michele.
