Day 21, Roundabout,
starring the common snipe
Uncommon is the common snipe
simple enough to hunt
its humming tail
a ghostly wail
simple enough to hunt
Among fools’ pursuits a leading stunt.
weaving the pranksters a tale:
a marsh, a bag
the unlikely grab
weaving the pranksters a tale
With lips at the tip of an outsized bill
worms from the sand it snags
with heady flight
and steady strike
worms from the sand it snags
Its eyes well-placed scan front and back
near impossible to fright
like a turkey it struts
more posing than guts
near impossible to fright
