If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is just a duck, but you – you are a Top Model of the bird world. Tall, slender, leggy – and wearing classic black and white, with those red stockings for accent.
Never be ashamed of who you are. Just be the best stilt you can be, and look down your long bill at those duckers.
No, Stilt, no. Don’t buy into their bully mentality. You are striking, you are beautiful. They have the jealousy that only someone with “the web-foot, flat-beak, stumpy legged, we are also edible” personality disorder could have. Ignore them.
Hee hee!
Lonely Asparagus would be the title of a debut album by a band called Loser Stilt.
You have problems.
Sharon. Put down the scope and back away slowly.
Dear Black-necked Stilt:

Taking a break from stress cleaning to say how much I love you all.
Jess – excellent suggestion!
Patrick – thanks for the confirmation.
SGN – will do!
KatDoc – you crack my ass (that’s a Hoosier style compliment).
you are one silly birdchick
Too funny!! This post (and the comments) certainly brightened my day.
Who hasn’t felt like a lonely asparagus at one time or another?
Oh, wait, no one has ever felt like a lonely asparagus? Well, I’ll have to agree with Patrick then…
I have been feeling entirely too much like that stilt lately. *sigh*
No, Stilt, no. Don’t buy into their bully mentality. You are striking, you are beautiful. They have the jealousy that only someone with “the web-foot, flat-beak, stumpy legged, we are also edible” personality disorder could have. Ignore them.
it’s a sign you’re watching too much Veggie Tales!
Dear Stilt,
Do those ducks have long ears? Do you see whiskers or bunny tails?
And I bet they won’t go for carrots.
So, how much can their puny attempt at disapproval mean?
Go back to believing you are the cool bird that you are.
I love all the readers who are so pro-stilt. Perhaps we should form a new bird club?
Stilt Self Esteem Unlimited?
Is there a big anti stilt contingent out there in the world? I didn;t realize anyone was anti-stilt.
I always love to watch a good bully in action. Still, I dig the stilt.
