Swans, geese, and ducks swimming in an urban canal with city buildings
Swans, geese, and ducks gather along a busy urban canal framed by historic mills and modern towers.

its the end of a

glorious summers day

on the banks of the canal

strangely quiet for the noon hour

but out in the distance

in view of the bright blue bridge

feathered friends are darting

over the waterside

golden treasures await

the winner of the contest

while the other riders

make do with the leftovers

and the little uns’

well they’re the real winners

as visitors to the waterside

scatter tasty morsels
