For The Birds

  "For the birds" is an idiom describing something as useless, meaningless, or only believed by the gullible. As I sit here writing, I am hearing the birds outside my window chirp. I have heard them every day since I moved in. They are not the same birds, but they do the same thing. They chirp and sing and sometimes have a back and forth conversation. They must be smart birds, because they know how to find food on a daily basis and how to shelter themselves from all weather conditions. They go about their merry way from high above, looking down on a civilization that they must feel is "for the birds".
