Sense Sonnet - Acher

No Mates Nigel

A seabird came to Mana Isle.
"No Mates Nigel" he was nicknamed.
But Nigel, a nest did compile
For a bird and his wooing aimed
At winning her heart for five years.
Constantly he attended her
With grooming and other endears.
Ever a gentleman for  sure,
But she remained aloof and cold,
No matter how hard Nigel tried.
Still a love  story did unfold,
At least on Nigel's loving side.

Nigel was found dead just next to
The concrete bird he'd sought to woo.
