Food Joke

Two robins were sitting in a tree. "I`m really hungry", said the first one. "Me, too", said the second. "Let`s fly down and find some lunch."They flew to the ground and found a nice plot of plowed ground full of worms. They ate and ate and ate `til they could eat no more."I`m so full I don`t think I can fly back up to the tree," said the first one."Me neither, let`s just lay here andbask in the warm sun", said the second."OK" said the first.They plopped down, basking in the sun. No sooner than they had fallen asleep, a big fat tomcat snuck up and gobbled them up.As he sat washing his face after his meal, he thought, "I love baskin` robins."
