mudlark soliloquy...

 

modelling a black and white number

is easy

but modelling a black and white number well

is quite another matter

I believe I am of the latter category

I practise

and practise

perhaps even in my sleep

that demonstrates how utterly addicted I am

to perfection 

but

I have not mentioned yet

that I model in many moods

there is the graceful glide in the air

with elegant speed

there is the catwalk strut

and then there is the

'get off my land' flash

alive with angry beauty

attested to by my accompanying shriek

I enjoy making my mark on the world

and enjoy keeping it that way too

a status quo

my way

no wonder I am honoured with a batch of names

magpie-lark

mudlark

and even

peewit and 

peewee 

in short

I am the very model of

feathered models
