There was an old crow
Who had a big heart
But when push came to shove
She was not very smart
There was an old crow
Who wore touches of lace
But when she opened her mouth
It was just a disgrace
There was an old crow
With a tall stovepipe hat
Because she carried a flag
She thought she was all that
There was an old crow
Who was shiny and bright
And she was straight as an arrow
When she took flight
There were two old crows
That sat on a pie
One said she was sweet
The other..."Not I"
I hope you enjoyed
This small murder of crows
And when you saw 'murder'
What did you suppose
That they would finally come
To a horrible end
No...
It just means they are
Part of a group
And are really
Just friends.

What a night
To be a witch.

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable post. I loved the picture of your father and aunt. I have often thought murder was an odd way to say group of crows. Hope it's getting cooler for you. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

Love all of your crows and their poems. We get some in our yard and trees every once in a while. Love to hear their calls.

Well aren't you a clever girl! I love your word play title and the poem itself. And that picture is amazing. 1916, huh? Just a few years before my own dad was born. Enjoy the afternoon...can't wait for the next installment!
