A Song from the Marsh

The mergansers don't sing
So I'll sing to them, a lay --
Dippity Do Da, Dippity Day
For S. Carolina, it's a cold, cold day!

The blue heron dances on the water
I don't know that dance --
My thought is go and join him
In the water? Not a chance!

Overhead, there goes a pelican
Turkey vulture -- graceful flight
I try to keep them in my sight
with binoculars I hold on tight,
As well I can.

And the many gulls fly overhead
Chatting -- don't know what they said
No chance that I could reach
Up high enough, to say hello --
Well, I'll see them at the beach
