The Intruders

The Intruders

Today the new tenants
(remember they have
been renamed)

demonstrated
their new yoga pose

they have progressed
from the tree pose
to a more balletic stance -
I think I'll simply call
the Duck pose

they also showed me
that underneath their
tawny brown overcoats

they have flashes
of iridescent blue
and green

and purple

Now let me think
what have we
scheduled for today...

some serious preening
to start with

engineered with
marvellous balance

Now what do you say Maude -
a drink
or a swim?

a drink it shall be...

But wait what's this...

Intruders!

Go back!
Go back
from where you came
No squatters allowed

This deck is taken

Let's freshen up
and head on out...

Are you ready Maude?

But look
who have we here

waiting on the beach

Perhaps we might be best
to tuck ourselves up
and have a snooze,
and safeguard our tenancy
a little while longer...
