Surprise!
A woman swimmer from Toledo is recovering after a pelican apparently diving for fish slammed into her. The Fire Department Chief says he had never heard of a diving pelican colliding with anyone. The swimmer needed 20 stitches. The bird died. The Plain Dealer, Sunday, May 11, 2008
Son Of A Bitch!
The pelican thought
When his beak was a foot from her head
“I thought it was Walleye or juicy Brown Trout!
And then in an instant was dead.
Son Of A Bitch!
The young woman cried
When she felt the sharp crack to her head.
“Someone threw a rock from a bridge or a boat!”
In an instant, the water turned red.
Son Of A Bitch!
The rescue tech said
When he saw what had all gone amiss.
“It’s really absurd to be mugged by a bird
Who was thinking your head was a fish!”
Son Of A Bitch!
I said as I read that rather unfortunate tome
When topic is right, it’s easy to write
An ornithological poem
