Me 2, Nature 0

On my way to work I ran over a pheasant. BAM right under the front wheel. They think fast, do those pheasants. In a split second the other one stood next to it had thrown itself under my back wheel. That's love for you.

Surely the penultimate line should be

the other one STANDING next to it

???

And it's not love. Or poetry. Still 5/10 for gaiety.

Apologies for the appalling grammar, terrible northern dialect I have yet to shake.

I wouldn't say that this was very impressive although you were trying to get a point across.
