Friend "Beaky" looks like a great blue heron to me. He seems a bit scrawny. What are you doing making friends with great blue herons? Would you like to read my poem about the great blue heron that wasn't?
This isn't the poem about the great blue heron who wasn't; it's more in keeping with the this blog commentary:
WHY PURPLE?
We like to see the pretty birds along our morning walk. Martha and I, we go quite slow, but that's so we can talk. And be always on the lookout for a purple this or that, It doesn't matter if it is a squirrel, dog or cat. The point is that it's purple, do you know why, can you guess? It's so we can report back on our findings to the Prez.
Anything that's purple, he says will do quite well, But we're aware what with him will nearly always ring the bell: It is a purple AVIAN, in other words, a bird; A duck is good, or even now, a heron, we have heard.
So if you are out walking in the winter when it's cool, And if perchance you should espy a purple gallinule, Or Mr. Blackie's purple cousin down around the pool, "Report it to the President!"—remember is the rule.
Why the UCO president should have this strange fixation, Is a matter to the masses of considerable consternation. But at the end of UCO days, it is my firm belief, 'Tis worth the crazy silliness if it brings some relief.
2.., that's it? ...how do they fish now? How did they do it before? Don't get me wrong, I am all for handicap rights, but this dock has hardly been used by anyone except for the ducks and herons that use it for a toilet and gators that hide under it... and let's not forget, there is no sidewalk on duck island, Will we have to put that in as well? If the sailing club utilized it for the sail boats as well as the fishermen and those that want a nice romantic walk at night... but is the island is not available at all hours, is it? You want the dock? Put in a sidewalk for the handicapped as well.

Whatever you do, don't feed him Wonderbread- he likes it but the people flip out.
ReplyDeleteRhyme on Lanny, we always need your poems.

Frantically trying to stay on topic - I have now met 2 charming wheelchair-bound people who fish, they do want the dock. Onwards.

ReplyDeleteHi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteWhat is that prehistoric avian horror?
It looks like a Purple Pterodactyl

That is Beaky the blue heron, his feathers are huffed up because some people do not treat him with respect, That beak is quite a weapon y'know.
