OF FLOCKS AND CONGREGATIONS

   OF FLOCKS AND CONGREGATONS




Which came first,
the prelates or the birds?
You know the color, doncha?
 
The former know the answers
to all the questions
the latter will never ask:
No what, no when, no why?

Pope pickers,
diamond darlings,
paragons of avian splendor.

Sorry, crested finches.
You got your name
from the color
of the churchmen’s robes.
