The Chirping Season

Claire Nathan was sitting under an umbrella on the patio at the “Cha-Cha Chai-Chai Mexican Tea House and Purveyors of Fine Digestion Products Salon” with Randall, drinking a grande’ Earl Grey La Cucaracha, when she observed that this is the chirping season.

“Birds, frogs, bugs, chipmunks, squirrels… all chirping," she said.”

Just then a truck from the “Over the Rainbow Garbage Pickup and Package Delivery” began to back up.

“Even the trucks are chirping,” Claire said.

Unfortunately she said it in front of Mayor Amanda Reckonwith.

“You’re right,” shouted the mayor. “The chirping season. Of course. We need a ‘Chirping Season’ festival to bring in the tourists.”

She hurried off to make plans for yet another festival.

“Thank God you said chirping instead of burping,” said Randall.

“Every season is the burping season with you,” replied Claire.
