The American Coot – Doesn’t give a hoot;
About being alone – More space to roam;
There, on the lake – Looking quite great;
He swiftly glides – Nowhere to hide;
Mountains behind – Frame him quite fine;
White peaks, Lake blue – A pleasant view;
Perhaps do you – Know why it’s called coot?;
Guess some naturalist – Thought that name was cute.
