An otter swam up the canal
Swimming a delightful backstroke
Rolling like a barrel
Smiling with delight
Parting the waters
With its head
Doing the harbour stroll
Contented in its contentment
Suddenly
All hell breaks loose
Danger is spotted
The word is out
Within seconds, pandemonium
Water hens come from nowhere
Raging ducks gather around him
All shouting, roaring and flapping their wings
Hostility is rampant
The Otter stunned
Panicked
He surveys the scene
Turned on his belly
And beat a panicked retreat.
