BLACK BIRD

They don’t get great press,

nor great coverage. They

are not in the fashion section

of The New York Times - being

mentioned for their color or plumage.

They are just there - like the

maintenance man in the school

or park - or your aunt or your

niece - who when asked - 
can baby sit in an emergency.

Necessary - not necessarily

nice or not nice - just a possible

choice or call when stuck. Oops!
Almost forgot ... sometimes
someone sings about them.
