Bernie Sanders
has won Washington
Oregon and Hawaii
and on Friday
at a rally
in Portland
a small bird
unexpectedly landed on his podium
surrounded by a chorus of cheers
from the crowd
and Sanders
used it as an opportunity
to say that the bird
was really a dove
telling us
that there should be
no more war.
And meanwhile
that bald eagle
which attacked Donald Trump
is reportedly
still not on speaking terms
with the Republican candidate.
