Futtered
I just wanted to say that I’m doing OK.
My feathers are fine but my feet cold today.
They look pretty bad but that’s not why I’m sad,
It’s not ‘cause of the cold but ‘cause I’m growing old.
Instead of my feathers, my heart’s all fluttered
So I’m takin’ the pills, and if they don’t work
It won’t be feet or feathers, but my heart that is futtered….
