A Shadow of Doubt

Duck! Get down! Not down From a duck. What the deuce Silly goose, Don’t be a clown. Just watch below The shadow, That runs amuck? Hide! Watch your hide, From the thing That glides. It will trick you Then pick you. It’s so quick, it Will ‘git you, In the thicket Where you hide. Run! Grab a gun! Take aim Toward the sun. Shame, shame. Is it an eagle Or a seagull? From whence it came? What’s its name It’s so regal? Lor! Hit the floor, Coz it’s coming back For more! What’s it carrying? It is carrion Which it madly adores. And man oh man Its wingspan Reaches eight feet four. Coz up there, soars The mighty Condor!
