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.
