Swan Lake

“Isn’t he marvelous!” “Yes marvelous! I like the way he glides” “Yes His whole body suspended You know” “He has that elegance only a secluded peacock shows” “Secluded peacock? Damned if I’ve ever seen any other” “Just a whim of mine a rustic image’ “Quite an incredible imagination” “But see how wonderfully he holds his form” “So patiently waiting to perform” “And here comes the swan Look!’ “Yes! See how the light illumines” “Incredible!” “Oh his eyes!” “Steady unemotional “And SHE The snow white bird” “See how she skips along” “Without a ripple” “The quiet in the winds is STUPENDOUS!” “Yes Ethereal” CRUNCH! “My God! I’m leaving! I thought I could handle it but I never could stand alligators”

Delightfully witty, Daver. But you must tell me how you managed to find alligators in Colorado. Have they migrated to the mountains? The FL Wildlife Commission needs an explanation! Thanks for posting such a playful poem to brighten our day. Love to you, Carolyn
