DOODLING THE DAY AWAY 4 - MELVIN THE MYTHICAL SPAWK

Finding it difficult to concentrate on serious things at the moment, so as usual I turn to doodling to help me through.  Today we have Melvin:



Melvin has had an unfortunate life since hatching, and he's obviously not a very happy chappie.



And this is the reason why:

          Pity poor Melvin, the mythical Spawk
          His Ma fell in love with an amorous hawk.

               His voice is a failure - can't screech and can't sing,
               He's one of a kind, big of beak, short of wing.

                    He struggles to fly in all kinds of weathers,
                    And sadly his flight tends to ruffle his feathers.

                         Melvin's great sorrow - of which he won't talk -
                         Is that since he's unique, there is no female Spawk!

  7. Poor Melvin... Maybe he can also find a lady hawk to take a fancy to a unique hawk. Loved this - the places your mind goes.

  9. Melvin is much like all of us here!
    A sweet little guy, really a dear!

    He's not alone he shall have his day
    The right bird, soon he shall meet
    Off they will fly, together they'll tweet!

    Love Melvin, love your wonderful ditty!

    Big hugs Giggles

  10. Melvin has been inspired by all these comments to try 0n-line dating, and he's currently trying to decide on which of the cute chicks on offer is for him.
    And he's never Tweeted so far, but it's never too late to get involved in social networking!
    Thanks all. Jez
