A new teacher at the Bridge


thanks to Mike for the memorial picture.



I couldnt have written anything more proper than another person mourning the Death of such a beloved grey to us all. Here is the memorial he wrote for Alex.


The Birdie Class rooms at the Bridge will be changed forever, With the
arrival of A new scholar.
Professor Alex Has been welcomed to Rainbow University.
He will be teaching the new arrivals about Life on Earth and what it was like to be the Highest respected African grey in the world.

He will be holding class everyday Teaching and Preaching about it All.
Teaching Math, Geometry ,Dimensional thinking. ETC.... a true genus.

The new recruits will be asking him "what was it like having research
written about him."

He will reply " I was just a grey!

Dimitri


WAITING

I got to the gate of Heaven today after we said good-bye.
I began to miss you terribly, because I heard you cry.
Don't cry, You gave me a wonderful life and did all that you could do.
And now I'll wait with a bunch of other birdies right here for you.
I met a beautiful Angel and she asked me to enter Heaven's gate.
I asked if I could stay outside for someone who'd be late.
I wouldn't make much noise you see; I wouldn't squawk or tweet.
I'll only wait here patiently and preen my feathers so neat.
The Angel said I could stay right here and wait for you to come
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven if I went in alone.
So I'll wait; you take your time, but keep me in your heart.
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven without you to warm my heart.
