Valentines Day Always Found Me Quiver

Ring with no feather in my cap only envy at handsome man drakes with bucks, who could bank on "hot chicks" willingly aligned in arrow emitting clucks fluffing their respective tail feathers amidst loud squawking out quacking establishing pecking order like ducks, or any other foxy fowl billetted within walled din noisy hen house preening, each be solder self flux sing wings and waddling, flirting, casting... webbed wide good lucks at the growing flock including male friends relatives, minus yours truly, whose presence, would merely generate a yawn, though even a distinct black swan received royal carpet treatment particularly one named Shawn encompassing another honorable guest with illustrious surname Rawn guests underwritten by Cupid, whose presence surreptitiously withdrawn (invitations distributed widely explained, just beak cuz gerrymandering redrawn) even provoking deer interest of stray doe eyed fawn hence lacking bravado and brawn this bird den some seedy, yet dove out crow kissing Avocet trundled off to parts unknown you bet far from boys stir russ, raw cuss, diss cuss ting clacking clique, and thus this solitary fret full ostracized, rejected, unwanted egret, who heron there experienced many a let down, not simply because of stork disparity with the Aves and havenots, but I never met any other species so set in their ways, hence off on a wing and prayer in search of other gulls, whom this dodo bird they will coe vet!
