Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

Avian In Nature

I once went out on a blind date
But that'll never happen again
A not so pleasant experience
When I was set up by a friend

He said, "She has but one problem,"
"I noticed as she crossed the street,"
"It's avian in nature, because"
"She has what you'd call crows feet!"

I said, "Well I'm no spring chicken,"
"And I'm a little weathered myself"
So I grabbed hold of that comment 
And put it on my "So what" shelf!

I admit that I was nervous
Knocking on the door of her place
But was most, pleasantly surprised
When I saw her angelic face!

She was gorgeous from head to knee
But how was I suppose to know
Below that, I was shocked to see,
She did have the feet of a crow!
