A Vulture's Lesson

Like a vulture cultivate patience skills
Horned into an art beyond a craft
So polished skills kill your bills
As you reach out for your reward raft. 

Like a vulture scan the environment
To survey the lay of the land
As opportunity at the right moment
Moves the priceless prize towards your hand.

Like a vulture rush not into the fray
Where competitors vie to eat their fill
While you bid your time and a ray
Of hope lights up your path on a hill.

Like a vulture wait for the opportune occasion
To sink in your bill and eat morsels
Meant as your share in due season
With minimal effort parcels and tussles.

I like it. Fond of all birds, vultures too, lovely to see them in a more flattering light than their usual dark implications. Good stuff :)
