Notes About The Poem
Crows capitalize on the farmer's work..They eat the newly planted seed as it come through the ground..Then when the ear worm attacks the ear they go down the rows shuck back the shucks and eat the ear worm
and it ruins the corn...
I learned something new the moth that I have been seeing so much this summer makes the ear worm..Sara
Capitalizing
In the spring, the crows sit in the tall pines
Capitalizing on the field of newly planted corn.
Farmer dreams of corn on the cob which he will dine
Caw, caw the lookout calls to his mates to forewarn
As crows go down rows, gleaning the kernels
Dreaming their only competition is from the farmer
But up high is a nest of pesky, frisky squirrels
On the ground also those armadillos with armour
As the farmer sees his profits go into the crows,
His temper flairs to beyond recovery.
Farmer sits in garden reading aloud prose
Bored to tears, the crows a great book discovery

With it drove farmer away in chorus sang, "Yea"..
