Black Swan

42 Comments

There once was a pretty black swan,

Who walked in the snow on the lawn,

Although he was bold,

He cried out in the cold,

And said, “I’ll be glad when it’s gone.”

    What a terrific picture, Anneli. And yes, I bet he was a lot happier without the snow!

    I’d barely recognize that as a swan.

    I never saw a black swan in real, they are beautiful to look at. Nice picture and a very nice little rhyme to go with the picture,

    It’s a lovely bird. A bit unusual to see in the snow though.

    You said they are common in Australia. Did you take this photo in Australia, Anneli! I love the photo and the limerick. Very nice.

    He doesn’t look happy in the snow, does he? Black swans are such beautiful creatures. There are some in the most of a castle near us.
