The Spur-winged Plover

A man once was a lover
Of the noisy Spur-winged Plover
But when walking his dog
Hid under a log
As its swooping made him take cover.

A crisp, playful limerick with an excellent comic escalation: “lover” neatly turns to frightened dog-walker as the plover’s famously defensive swooping takes over. The jaunty rhyme and compact narrative make it a memorable little bird portrait.🌹
