Birds, Bees, Creatures and Nature

The wise old owl with an eagle eye, Who spied a blackbird as it flew by The vulture could smell the decay Of the carnage killed that day Flesh and blood ooze from the prey Of bodies and carcases on display The hungry vulture swooped, To join other vultures in the group Squabbling over a piece of meat Although there was plenty left to eat These greedy birds ate and ate, Not caring for the dreadful fate, Of the birds of prey As long as they fulfilled their need to eat It was only then they flew away.
