You Sexy Thing

We were in Somerset West, early morning. As we turned the car, there he was, in all his amazing, awesome, magnificence. A Peacock with his tail fanned out. How incredible and how lucky we were to see it. The fan must have been two metres across, each feather perfect. He turned around three times, very slowly, the better to show off, then he ruffled his tail feathers and pawed the ground three times with his right foot, a neat trick (ask any showgirl).Slowly, slowly he folded in his fan, satisfied that the audience was impressed. How sad for him that there was no eager young peahen watching from the bushes.
