BIg Bird

Big Birds body lay on the table, as we stared at it hungrily.

“Oh man does he smell good,” Ernie said.

“Mmm fresh baked cookies,” replied the Cookie Monster dreamily.

“you know I thought I’d feel really bad about this,” said Bert as they all nodded in unison “but he tastes amazing and… well it’s much more pleasant round without him,” Ernie added quickly.

“1234,1234,1234 I love to count, hmmm let’s see 28 veins, 2 eyes, 1 tongue and oh! 32 liters of blood. Yum,” the count said enthusiastically.

“Yummy fresh baked bird,” replied Oscar finally popping his head out of his garbage can.

“You guys are gross!” cried Elmo in disgust “how could you eat your friend?”

“Well you really should try some,” said Bert in a very ‘knowing’ tone of voice.

Elmo tries a bite.

“Yum, this really is good,” said Elmo as he tried to ease his mind by telling himself it truly was better without him around.
