Before Roger left Violet, to follow his friend, they had a small conference in his absence. “He seems a lot better,” Roger said, with a relieved sigh. “I think it will be alright now.” Violet agreed, with one exception. “But he still has the habit of narrating his own life in that annoying Arthur Conan Doyle manner, doesn’t he?” “Yes, but he’s always done that. And it isn’t aloud anyway. If you didn’t know it was his regular habit, you would never notice it at all.” “And he retains his belief that he is a gifted mind, in a world populated with suckers.” “Yes. Also a life-long habit. And again, he is generally quiet about it, so it doesn’t impact his life much, aside from this incident where he began to withdraw from existence itself, there being nothing worth his participation. This has been quite successful, and I thank you. I’d better follow after and see that he gets home safely. His internal narrator is notoriously poor at observing his surroundings.”
What a thoughtful man! On his daily walk, he acknowledges all the living creatures he passes by! Be them small, or large, he tips his hat to their being alive and well and flourishing.
He also has a favorite park bench he sits on to feed popcorn to the suctorial birds who flock to his side, in anticipation of getting something to eat.
Afterwards, he gets a hotdog, with everything on it, from a vendor and goes back home for a nap!
I’m trying to imagine a sectorial bird. Maybe the chicks when a parent feeds them? I’m pretty sure what hummingbirds to with their tongues is not sucking.
Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it blows. You must first suck in order to blow it out your aspirations. ‘Tis the circle of life. The little lame game. Gotcha comin’ and a goin’.

lampreys, spiders, ticks, fleas, skeeters, etc. P.T. Barnum was orders of magnitude off when he said a sucker is born every minute..

…the universal translator should never had been used on Earth animals…
…especially dogs …
…knowing what dogs really thought ruined dogs for almost everyone…
…and whales and dolphins…
…nothing but shame…
…on the bright side …
…animal uses came out smelling like a rose…
