Proposal

A dainty crow writes a long letter
to a white duck.
My dear, I am really fed up with my lifestyle.
Everyday I have to fly here & there for my daily bread.
Nowadays it's very hard to find a crumb.
Everywhere scattered corpses
and I am a vegetarian.
Since the day I saw you,
I have a liking of your innocence.
Do you have enough space
in your muddy pond?
I too can float there
if we come to a compromise
with your parents blessings.
I am sure that we can have
black & white ducklings.
Please do not misunderstand me
I'll give you a guarantee
to look after the family.

Dedication for those who try to eradicate racism!
