Peacock Problems

Peacocks may look exotic With their colourful display But the reality is not all roses In the cold hard light of day Here they wander wild They really are a blight Loudly screaming 'HELP!' In the middle of the night Peering in the windows Admiring their reflections Leaving deposits on the deck Ready for your inspection Eating everything in the garden And trampling on the rest They say a group of peacocks is called... an ostentation a pride a muster a party a pulchritude a bevy .... But I'll just call them a pest!

Hi Julie. I really enjoyed reading your poem. I often wonder why both the male and female peacocks are called peacocks. I remember seeing one fly a short distance once and hadn't realised that they could fly. See what's happened here? Your poem has me talking peacocks now. I'm off to google them :) Cheers - Gary
