Exceptional A short rhymed poem Molly's Folly by Debra White

A rabbit and a pigeon sat before me on the grass. Ten feet away, that's all they were, and both as bold as brass! The rabbit nibbled casually. The pigeon stood his ground. The cocky pair's audacity wound up my inner-hound. I didn't settle soon enough  which one of them to chase; I leapt, he flapped, she hopped... somehow they vanished into space!   Recognized Author Notes Folly - foolish or senseless behaviour Bold as brass - exuding extreme confidence Audacity - a willingness to take bold risks Photo taken from my walk with Molly, our English Springer Spaniel, this morning. She was too indecisive to catch either the pigeon or the rabbit (not that I encourage her to chase the wildlife!) The English Springer Spaniel is a breed of gun dog in the Spaniel family traditionally used for flushing and retrieving game. It is an affectionate, excitable breed. (Wikipedia)
