Birds of Lake Pine

A poetic aphorism

By Ron Lee Stewart

 

The Mallards are very shy,

Catfish are tenacious.

 

The cormorants swim very fast,

small fish must swim faster.

 

The Great Blue is a Royal bird,

ordinary Ducks are simple.

 

The Blue Jays are a curious lot,

Mockingbirds are ferocious.

 

There is also one thing at the lake,

something called the core.

 

If it wasn’t for God’s True Love,

there would be no more.
