Birds Do It

Being in love and dating is a time when you smile in your sleep and smile when you’re awake. It’s a special time when you hear the stars twinkling and songbirds carrying sweet tunes.

Those in love and dating can appreciate hearing a beautiful and captivating song titled Let’s Do It,…

It says, birds do it and bees do it. The lyrics are by Cole Porter. When I ask people what it is that birds do and bees do, they give me many different answers, the most common being, have sex.

While I can see their point, this isn’t the correct answer according to the lyrics. Apparently the people I asked hadn’t heard this beautiful song sung by Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and other fine vocalists.

The song continues by saying that:

Even educated fleas do it.

Question: What is it that birds, bees, and even educated fleas do?
Correct answer: They fall in love.

Here’s how to tell if you’ve fallen in love…

• You invest a lot of time and energy in him.
• It’s hard for you to concentrate on anything other than thoughts of him.
• His words, simple as they may be, make you gush.

• Times goes by fast when you’re together.
• His glance in your direction brings a rush of warm fuzzy feelings.
