THE DYING SWAN
The dying swan turned round and around.
Tiptoeing on the hard and concreted ground.
Stunningly beautiful and graceful in its steps.
At Stollmeyer's Castle, we gasped for breath.
*
Its astounding performance, we watched in awe.
Such a wondrous act we had never seen before.
The part was played by one of Minshall’s men,
In the Land of the Humming Bird, a Carnival band.
*
Walking on stilts, he climbed the high stage,
To receive his prize, and the crowd was amazed.
The presenter of the prize stood on the highest elevation.
To present to the Dying Swan his well-earned token.
