Does this have potential? There could be more of it, I've thought up plenty more lines, but no point ramming hundreds of words down crits' throats. I've not really tried surreal humour before. Might not again!

RAVEN (MALE VOICE):
Yeah, it was a good idea this birds night out.
ROOK:
But where's crow? Was he invited. Ahh, there you are. What kept you?
CROW:
Sorry, sorry, sorry. I thought I'd try a new route. I flew east over Ipswich, then followed the coast to Essex and then took a path along the Thames. I got as far as Greenwich, then I doubled back on myself, headed north, circling the venue before swooping down. I thought I'd get tailwinds the whole way
ROOK:
Jesus. That's a complicated route. I'm surprised you didn't get lost. You should have kept it simple. Straight down following the M11, right in line with the jetstream. It's dead easy, A to B, as the crow. Oh, (PAUSE) Well, how are you? Seeing anyone?
CROW:
Nah, I'm off women, since, you know
RAVEN:
Thrush?
CROW:
Exactly. That hit me hard. You guys?
RAVEN:
Yeah, I'm with robin redbreast
ROOK:
F-ck me? You know Robin's a bloke
RAVEN:
She bloody ain't. She's a well fit bird.
ROOK:
Nah. Bloke. (DRAWN OUT) Robin. The clue's in the name
RAVEN:
No, no, but it's Robin with a y, right? No?
