Two baby birds were screaming bloody murder from their nest high up in the tree. It was a mess, embryonic goo and eggshells all over the place. It smelled pretty funky too, dried twigs and bird droppings. One unhatched egg sat between them. [SAD STORY, SPOILER ALERT: That egg is never going to hatch, which is sad.

It’s a mash up I should have posted on Halloween. Jay-Z meets Ray Parker Jr. with “Who You Gonna Call? Encore!” or grammatically correct, “Who Are You Going To Call? Encore!”.
