......Facepalm.....The minds of weird little school girls will never make sense to me.........oh wait, they do......such gaudy taste in jokes.....for a "bird" to be "small" and camoflauged is advantageous, makes it hard to shoot. It's those BIG, colorful peacocks that need to watch out. HAHAHA!!!
Actually, you poor aged fellow, it isn't a joke at all, gaudy or otherwise. It is a conflation of an historical reference to Robin Hood (representing you lurking in a tree with your bow & arrow like a poor man's Errol Flynn) with a literary reference to the
Death and Burial of Poor Cock Robin. I guess I shouldn't have expected recognition of either from someone whose first inclination in nature is to kill something.
You had best beware that wicked sparrow, the one who carries the bow and arrow, he's far better hidden than you. Then the cock and the hen of the family Wren might carry your funeral pall too.
