'All This Rain, Such a Pain!'

This is Buddy, my friendly neighborhood Anhinga. I like to give the ones I see on a regular basis names so I can keep track. Anyway, I always figured that Buddy was such a jolly fellow that he should rhyme when I "speak through him". His reaction to the downpour last week was more like "I just got out of the water all wet after catching lunch and now I'm getting wet just by standing here! Isn't my choice whether I get wet or not?" 'Cause, after swimming underwater for fish, Anhinga can't fly. Add that to being rained on as soon as he emerged from the water... Not a happy bird.
