Dude The Cathedral Garden Attraction

With a conceited ego
the plumage friend
poised its head towards
the left while posing,
he teases like a holiday
window display.

Its fashioned head dress
of spikes is neatly
combed as freshly cut grass.

Overdosing by spreading its
wings for the crowd in the
sultry afternoon, he knows
how to attract attention
by showing off his albino cape.

The children dare to reach out,
to touch its adorned quills;
extending one foot out ready to
run the opposite way in case
he gets annoyed and gives chase.

He has given himself the title
of the garden police standing
as a soldier for the national
guard, he is given attention
by tourists from all corners
of the earth.

This exotic dude has nothing
to lose he gets fed the best
everyday and his snapshots are
in display as one of natures
perfectly formed birds.
