The Flamingo ,
Class of 2010,
in their 0.5 credit
Swimming Class SW1001.
The Sylvian University
with the
strict Mallard
instructors,
asking them
to practice
the compulsory,
one legged,
dives.....





They nudge
each other,
pretend to
scratch,
themselves and
each other....
bending to discuss
their teacher,
looking over the fence
at the horizon...

Maybe its time to
take off,
and glide through
not blue waters
but blue skies,
on their
yearly
pilgrimage across the world,
celebrating
the colors of Nature.....
