Squawk

SQUAWK


                      A nuthatch built a twiggy nest

                      A cockatoo showed off her elegant crest

                      A bluejay stole a hummingbird's egg

                      A flamingo sleeps on just one leg

                      A seagull fought for an ocean snail

                      And Daffy Duck pulled Donald Duck's tail!

Very nicely penned! I like the way you move from birds real to their Disney incarnation. Fun whimsy indeed! Best wishes, Brian

Why do I believe that about Daffy? He's such a smart-alec. Well done and very enjoyable.

My kids loved the praise, "Barrel of monkeys" Great way to describe a playground filled with happy, busy little people. It was kind.
