This is definitely a self published little book, because there are just too many spelling and punctuation errors. Spelling is correct.
A Family of Birds
There is a family of birds in a house in Synthiana, Ky. When Mrs. Martin married again, she became a crow. Crow died, and she married Robin. She parted from Robin, and ten moths ago Mrs. Robin married Dave Buzzard. The little birds in her home now comprise one Martin, two Crows a Robin and a young Buzzard.
Kinda randomly specific to mention (and misspell) Cynthiana, Ky.... unless this is supposed to be a true story?
I didn't even know the city was misspelled... I was referring to the 'moths' instead of months!
Hmm, not sure. It could be a true story, but I wonder how likely such a coincidence might take place? Perhaps he had a summer home there, or relatives.

I admit that I read this 4 times and thought it was super weird. What do you think?

Hmm... I guess that's how they keep the alligator from being pestered, as no one would want to be considered an idiot. Am I reading that right?
I think so, but it's a weird one, right?
