A Pome a Day for a Year

When did herons learn to instrument?
I never seen that before,
and it is a bit big for what is essentially a
freshwater coastal bird of roughly
10 inches tall.

(I would know if it were a Goliath Heron,
those flappers get up into the 60 inches
and I would not question one of those
playing an oboe, except to say
‘How did you procure that instrument
when your species is naturally denied
credit at most banks?’)

Man, this heron is going to town
with those notes, and it sounds a little
like The Musical Box, but
I do not see Peter Gabriel anywhere,
so this little Heron is a fan of Genesis?
Or maybe,
just maybe if you look askew a little,
this is a Hipster Heron.
