The loons off my dock
My summer they do rock
Big, black, and white
They are such a lovely sight
Magical creatures
With many mystical features
Oh, my goodness! Hark!
Is that them yodeling in the dark?
Haunting is the sound
Dreamy, and mellow, and profound
Another interesting fact?
The chicks ride mommy piggyback
Mom can’t walk around so hot
But skill at flying, swimming, and diving she do got
The nest is made
In the marshes in the shade
And Mom is not alone
Papa Loon spends lots of time at home
He shares duties nesting
While Mamma Loon goes off someplace resting
Come July we will have chicks!
And go ahead, call me a hick
But I cannot wait
For this most exciting date!
