By the River Bank

By the river bank there dwells a King
In quiet repose, despite his bling
Resplendence though is his forte,
Ever donned in fine display.

Was e'er a bird as suave as he
Dressed in shimmering livery,
On his mind a little fish
A tasty morsel, oft his wish.

Then with a splash, in he goes
To surface in unruffled clothes
A feat of perfect co-ordination,
He shows his catch, in celebration.
