When life gives you lemons, squirt the juice in your eye.

And of course they made a new language. 
To keep secrets is hard enough
In a slippery, familiar tongue
And impossible, when some
Require restraint as briskly from 
the holder.

But to not breathe is to die, so these
Are rather rattled out through wire,
in code, 
In jumbled lingo, a mess
In flowers adorning clumsy confession
And he says darlin',
Everyone is a liar.

Haley, I love them all! The bird poem is my favorite although my experience is with people and ants (but it was the same thing). I like this one to (although I am not sure I really understand it- BUT DONT TELL ME -I will figure it out on my own!)
