"Each time I see the Upside-Down Man
Standing in the water,
I look at him and start to laugh
Although I shouldn't Oughtter.
For maybe in another world,
Another time,
Another town,
Maybe HE is right side up
And I am upside down."
~Shel Silverstein~

ReplyDeleteAnd of course they know it.
Oh yes, they certainly do. Thank you William :)
Deleteswans, although very regal, frighten the heck out of me, just like Canada Geese...LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Gill, they can be very intimidating but fortunately I have never had a problem with swans. And then I don't get to see them but very rarely. It's been years! The Canada Geese have given me a warning every now and again :) Always enjoyed them though, and the warnings have been mild.
DeleteFun photo and great prose to go with it!
