I am a cob swan and I grace the lake With my pen, who is my lifelong soulmate Soon the cutest young cygnets will emerge A major attraction upon the earth. Have a stride beside the tulips with me A lovelier vision there'll never be I nod to the beauties, passing 'em by And blink them a wink from my roving eye. A wink is as good as a kiss from me My beak is much too large, obviously Tulips, they shiver and shake in reply How I love the tulips that I glide by. Tulips all have their own unique splendour I couldn't decide which one I would opt for Borders of tulips arouse my delight When gliding on the lake, morning to night. This is my swan cantata, sung with glee Come along hearties, sing aloud with me It's healthy for lungs, you're sure to agree When strolling beside tulips merrily.

Dear Bill, thank you for reading and commenting, I’m pleased you enjoyed the read, the poem was inspired by the picture and of course beautiful swans lend themselves perfectly to poetry. You and Sara have a lovely weekend. Beryl
