Terns,,,,,,,,,,

Said the Mommy tern to the Daddy tern: “I think I am laying another egg.”

Said the Daddy tern to the Mommy tern: “One good tern deserves another.”

Well I’ll be quacked.

So they were stuck flying in circles!!!

Why, the unmitigated gull!

( ͡   ͚ ͚ʖ ͡  )

That took a tern for the worse. (a more worse pun anyway)

Two everything tern, tern, tern

There is a season tern, tern, tern

And thyme to every porpoise under resin

That’s ingrained with NASCAR …!

I was thinking “they” were screwdrivers

we have terns here in the summer, I love the way they’ll hover, drop like a rock into the water, and come up with a fish.
