Gerald

Gerald is a duck with a large body in blue
It had troubled him since birth and everyone knew
Also plagued by a big beak that was yellow
He was an extremely unlucky duck fellow
He cursed his fate he cursed his bad luck
Gerald yearned to be an everyday duck

Most at some stage had shown compassion
Blue and yellow are not the duck fashion
One that hadn't was the beautiful Sue
She seemed unfazed by his unusual hue
Wearing rose coloured glasses with the whitest of feathers
The perfect partner to fly with through all types of weather

How could he let his feelings be known?
He was lacking a plumage that could be shown
A bird is judged by what is on his crest
Gerald lacked this, how could he impress?
An action can illustrate more than a word
This applied to all species even a bird

She was very aware of Gerald's attention
It was coming across as some type of tension
Finally she could take it no more
"Damn!!" what is your problem she swore
He blurted out, "Could you ever love a Duck that is blue?"
She said, "Sorry Gerald I never knew"

He was puzzled by her reply, what did she mean?
Was it the love or his colour she hadn't seen?
"Of course I could love you, nothing would please me more"
"Why have you never asked me before?"
"Your colour means nothing have you ever stopped to think?"
"What shade it is through a lens that is pink!"
