Sunday Excursion.His snowy feathers met the breeze. His mailed yellow legs shone in the sun. He shook his scarlet crest triumphantly. A gallinaceous Agag, He came delicately across the road, Confident in his excusable coxcombry. A rush of noise. A whine of sound. A frantic flutter-- A swift thud . . . A tawny cloud typhooning eastward. Gasoline . . . White feathers blown about The road dyed red-- The scarlet helm trailing in the dust-- Agag hewed down before the Lord. __Judith Alymera Jacobs |
