Pickings were slim, but in time, he saw a dove flying by. "Better than nothin'" he muttered (birds in jokes can mutter) and swooped down, grabbed the dove and flew to his nest. Feathers flew, and eventually the dove tottered to the edge of the cliff, shouted (yes, they shout, too): I'm a dove I've been loved And I LIKE it! Well, sir, this took care of the old boy for a while but soon enough he was at it again. All he could see was a lark, to away he went, and feathers flew and soon the lark shouted: I'm a lark I've been sparked And I LIKE it! and flew away. As you can guess, some time later our friend was again in need of amor... lib... you know! This time, all that happened by was... a DUCK! So down he swooped, and feathers flew, and the duck tottered to the cliffside and shouted: I'M A DRAKE! THERE'S BEEN A MISTAKE AND I DON'T LIKE IT! Ray Simard Loral Instrumentation
