Stalking the Locals

On a town near the Murray He came with a flurry, When innocent townsfolk walked down the street, A squawking black and white villain With evil intentions inside him, Causing many a good citizen to retreat.

Author's note: a magpie bird is well known for dive-bombing people's heads--especially in the breeding season Murray: is a well known river separating two states of Australia
