Le héron hydrophobe

L’eau croupissante du marais à Monsieur Héron ne sied
Lui qui ne sut jamais moulte ablettes accaparer.
Le sel des marées ses longues échasses indispose
Et le bruit lancinant des vagues empêche qu’il ne repose.
 
Alors la bestiole en mal d’horizons lointains
Pris ses cliques et ses claques et s’installa sur un rond-point.

Jean de la Fontaine 

The hydrophobic heron has decided to leave streams, rivers, ponds and seashores to set up camp... in the middle of a busy roundabout in Monkstown. Nowhere near water. 
And far from his mates the Chinese fishermen. He either has a phobia of water or he is afraid of the coronavirus... (they don't make masks that fit around herons' beaks...)
