Bob O'Connor said Scott got a condor,
saw it soar, really,
first it was along the horizon's fringe,
thin its pace was curbed, slow, slower,
till it fluffed down onto a leather-seated Mercedes.
He said it was midday, in the desert,
and there was gold on gold on gold
--sun splinters.
Then Bob said Scott went to Texas to get an Ivory-billed woodpecker or a golden-cheeked warbler, maybe number 405.
Bob thinks Scott's an odd miser.
