Fly with PigeonAir!
The sky’s the limit! Unless you’re not a bird…

This story is a response to The Kraken Lore’s Monday Mash-Up #10.
“Good afternoon, this is your Captain speaking, uhh… We’re flying into LaGuardia today, uhh…”
“Holy cows and camels and Virgin Marys, lift this bird up and away from that flock of pigeons!” the copilot screamed, pulling on the yoke.
Thffppwp — THUNK!
“What the hell was that, a bird? Sounded like a camel!”
“Or maybe a teal VW Bug.”
“Can you get us on the ground?” the captain asked.
“I could land this 737 on a braid of hair!” the copilot answered.
Both lamented getting paired together.
The pigeon pooped on the passing jet, satisfied he had avenged his fallen comrade.
My Score:12/14
Narrator is a pigeon (sort of): 2 points
Teal Volkswagon Beetle: +1 point
"Holy cows and camels" incantation, plus camel: +2 points
Landing a 737 on a braid of hair?: +1 point
Onomatopoeia: bird getting sucked into the engine: +5 points
I remembered my tally box: +1 point
This story is also a drabble. No bonus points, but I heard that JF Danskin loves drabbles. And challenges. So I challenge him to Mash-Up 11, coming Monday morning! I’d also like to challenge Kathy K and FJCMontenegro to #11 as well!
