Wow @d-pend... Shocking contrast to the poem you wrote before you went to bed.

This poem is quite humorous and filled with curiosity. I love how you added these lines in the middle:

(It looks like it shall rain,
a long storm;
perhaps
for a dreary fortnight.
I know the chants to ward it off,
yet choose instead
to watch its humid flight.)

It gives it a Shakespearean thought process.

This whole poem was lovely day tripping.
I think the bird wanted to eat the fish but changed its mind.
He just put his hat back on again.

Woodstock doesn't eat fish either.

You are a dignified gentleman today.

Shall I call a horse for you?
