CROW A crow is a crow is a crow In the bird popularity poll We are the lowest of the low But do we care? No. While others twitter on and on, or worse Bang out the same three notes Of musical Morse, we refrain. If there's ’owt to caw, we caw. Long since banned from the dawn chorus We lie in bed until lunchtime Then leisurely flap down And bag a few smug worms. Potter about in the afternoon Call on friends, or simply bide. For the night that others hide from Is the time that we like best. Nestled in treetops gently swaying We stretch out to the sky And hold court with the moon. Stargazers we. The thinkers. Looking deep into the heavens
We drift and drift and drift Up and up into the blueblack Into the very crowness of the universe. A crow is a crow is a crow In the bird popularity poll We are the lowest of the low But do we care? No.
