Oh, Mr Puffin;

clown faced chaplain

preaching the necessities of joy

from the wild vaudeville of your grassy slopes,

your shirtfront like a billowing sail;

your laughing eyes like crescent moons;

a giggle of sand eels spilling

from your motley coloured comedy beak.

Mr. Puffin, you are such fun

and my heart, like the waves,

is your roaring crowd.

Very creative description in these few lines. I think you captured it. Captured me also.

Thanks, Smitty. I posted it because I heard that Puffins were becoming endangered. Its very sad. The worlds such a bleak place that we can't afford to lose all the things, like Puffins, that make it a little brighter.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
