Okay I know I can't be the only one but when I see swans my reaction is to slowly back away! Which brings me to why swan lake is so so popular! A ballet performance about a swan. How is that a good idea? Why is that a good idea? They are not beautiful if they are running at you sticking their long necks out ready to peck!!
I can hand on heart say that I have never provoked them to want to act me. Maybe they don't like the way I walk which to me is rather normal, nothing that could be misjudged a an evil hunters walk.
My theory is that when we all were children our parents, teachers, nannies, who ever else looked after us fed us false information that swans are nice creatures because of the "lonely" ugly duckling. Where his parents abandoned him and left him with a mummy duck. This means that the ducks are nice, swans mean! No one seems to agree with me on this matter, never the less I think that it is an important issue that needs to be discussed in the open. You may think I am crazy but you wouldn't want to see one of these creatures drunk, would you? If your answer is yes you are very wrong. They chase you. They may look pretty from afar and I myself have enjoyed in the past sitting with my friends by a lake where swans are on. (Photo to prove it) But they are aware of your presents, it's like if they don't want you there they could make you move!!
That is just what I think. I find it very difficult why some people love them so so much or even why people would want to see a show about them, or how someone even came up with the idea of writing a show about them. That is even more odd than seeing the show. Some people may watch a performance out of curiosity or they may be being fourced to go.
Okay, maybe this is me being crazy but they are just something I really don't like.
Anyway I promise the next post will not be so crazy.
