Sitting Ducks.

Goldfinch60



There we were walking along Our River,

A beautiful sunny morning,

The green river clear as glass

We could see the bottom.

As we walked we looked around,

One lady sitting on a bench reading,

Reading a book.

Another elderly couple sitting in the sun,

Sitting there in happiness.

As we walked on we saw them,

We saw the ducks,

Not swimming in the water

But sitting in a line on the concrete,

The concrete path at the boathouse.

All looking out to Our River

As we were.

I had never seen so many doing this,

And they just sat there,

Sat there like sitting ducks.

    I had a pigeon visit me today as I worked on the water. Stayed and listened to me talk.

    This reminded me of the other day when I saw a bunch of vultures sitting on my neighbor's roof. I wondered what was going on inside.
