Priss As a Peacock

Priss As A Peacock

Priss as a peacock
proud as I am,
I prance ore the garden
waving my fan.

Proud Senorita
crown all in tact,
waddles and wades
train trailing back.

Glorious gait 
eyes all a glow,
regal and royal
she puts on a show.

Till one small flaw
Her neck stretched up high,
She screeches an opera
Like one who has died.

Excellent one ..that brought a chuckle..Beauty sometimes has a flaw...Keep the creativeness flowing, Lady..Here a while back we were somewhere and I saw a Peacock and told my husband to stop and let me get a picture but he didn't...I wanted to write something about it when I got the picture to look at...I am really glad that you did this..Sara
