591 - CROSS

ROSs was surprised one morning when all of the doors in his house had half a dozen or more crows gathered around them. "That's unusual", he thought to himself, "crows are normally solitary". He started thinking about the old horror film "The Birds" and started to get fearful. "Oh, come on, pull yourself together", he said out loud and went back to what he'd planned to do which was to put the dross from his garage into the skip. At the first creak of the door the crows departed! "That must have been a gross or two of crows - I'll put up a post on Facebook to see if anyone else has noticed this." He drove into town and was almost knocked over when he went to cross the road. "I reckon cars are more dangerous than birds", he mused.
