They gather at disposal sites,

Either outflows or lagoons, for bites —

Some live and breed beside the daily gush.

I wouldn’t thank you for roast duck,

You never know their past in muck,

As round about they fly to get their fill.

Eating them would cause me gag —

In Pasadena, hunters shoot their bag

Right close to an open sewage swill!
