Ode to Great Blue
Oh Blue, Great Blue,
You bad boy, you!
You’ve pulled out all stops
To dazzle the ladies
With elegant plumage and hue.
Your crest, once handsome
Has grown longer, more graceful –
It floats on the gentlest breeze
Attracting the loveliest of prospects
How dare you! You unabashed tease!
What is this? Your beak so yellow
Has turned a russet hue
And your eyelids, once white
Why, they’ve morphed to sky blue!
Quite the legs you strut today
Once blackish-green, they were OK.
But now! A reddish hue one sees
Sure to weaken shy girls’ knees.
Oh Blue, My Blue—
I’m stuck on you;
These last months you’ve not left my view.
Pray tell me, when you’ve found your mate
You’ll return, for
I will gladly wait.
