Eating Crow-Collaboration Open To Anyone

No matter how some complain and bellow
they are exposed, each a trolling fellow
I'd look them in the eye
for telling one more lie
but I heard they're too busy eating crow
                            by Jenna Logan



Their "platforms" anchored, tightly tethered
Their statements all "if, ands, and whethers"
While blowing their horns
And spitting out thorns
From mouths full of fluffy crow feathers
                            by John Lawless




Cruel comments, sure catch one's eye
Demeaning, vindictive, but sly
Trolls aim to debase
And leave a bad taste
Perhaps they should eat humble pie
                              by Jan Allison



Some people just won't admit when they're wrong
Like to spin yarns and then string you along
But without any doubt
They are always caught out
Then feast on the first crow that comes along
                                 by Tom Cunningham



Will he choke while eating crow
A feeble mind he does show
He messed in the blog
When he slopped his hog
His words are wind and they blow
                           by Mark Koplin

That's what he gets for spewing lies and arrogance from that big mouth. LOL Thanks for reading and leaving your thoughts, Rick.

Thanks, Milt. I heard those crows are still cawing, but I'll not bother reading another word of their whining. The more they try to defend themselves, the deeper they sink in the mire.

That pie would be appropriate Tom, but they’d choke on it.
