Perch On, Oh Yacolt Parakeets! (Poets Weigh in on Yacolt Wild Parrot Crisis)

The poets have spoken. The Wild Parrots of Yacolt, Washington must be saved.

The only thing I'd object to is the line "a thimble can contain your brains." It's not the size of one's computing mechanism that counts, otherwise the room-sized computers of 1952 would be able to out-compute today's mobile processors. It's the degree of integration, and I can tell you that our beloved Monks are well-integrated beasties!

Anyway, this latest missive from the artsy crowd is a favorable indication that perhaps the wild Quaker Parrots of Yacolt can be saved. After all, once the poets jump on the bandwagon it's a sure bet that public opinion has shifted in the right direction.
