Albatross
A lbatross a wandering ~ the largest bird up in the sky
L ongest wingspan ever seen ‘twixt eight foot three to eleven foot six
B reeding is the only time I'm touching down on terra firma
A ged sixty years or more with just one mate whom I adore
T o kill me, legends say, your life would end without a friend
R ejoicing mariners safe with me until their journey ends
O ver oceans I will soar whilst sleeping on the wing
S upernatural some believe, protecting oceans far and wide
S oaring gliding elegantly an awesome sight when in full flight
