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.

I am terrible about getting back to nice poetry comments. I'm sorry about that. It was a silly, funny write that came out of nowhere. I am delighted that you liked it Beata, thank you for your nice comment.

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