Ravens
When it comes Springtime lambing on the farm
The bleating sheep send out distress alarm
For the black ravens and carrion crow
Locate their prey and glide in on the flow
Ebony ravens with diamond shaped tails
Are now in flight over West Riding dales
Seeing as their wide spreading wings unfolds
their acrobatic chases, dives and rolls
In mating rituals that they display
Ever watchful in likely passing prey
From Arctic to Mediterranean
Ravens favour suitable carrion
In coastal regions they perch to survey
the nests for speckled eggs the seagulls lay
Highly intelligent amongst their peers
Approximate life span of thirteen years
