Do Egrets Have Regrets?

On out door decks there are diners,
Where those diners snatch dinners
And with what they sometimes behold
They do not have to be told
How special life is midst these sights and sounds.

Sure servers can often swoop in like egrets
Who waiting quietly’ve clucked, sighed and shuddered
Knowing it’s time they plucked remnants of dinners from diners
And, yes at times this must include toast yet unbuttered.
For lined up outside are more who will feast without regrets.

While delectable toast covered in jam just to sweeten
Might be snatched away before it can be eaten.
Imagine outdoor dining, when a real egret swoops in—
Snatching away your last morsels—and helps keep you thin.

Whilst you marvel at sights and unstopped-for things,
Like this creature, the egret, with wondered-at wings,
Yes, with all this included in the price of a dinner,
You can once again see on this trip you’re the winner.

As you leave with wonder about egrets and surely not regrets.
