The Albatross

An albatross
flew across
 the sea,
spied an island
called Hawaii.

He built
a nest
on a golf course,
then called and called,
till he was hoarse.

A lady albatross 
flew by.
She heard him clack.
She heard him cry
She gave a loving sigh,
decided she'd
give him a try.

She stopped her flying
took a rest.
She joined him 
in his cozy nest.

She folded her wings
and tucked her legs.
Together they sang
and laid four eggs.
