Two Ravens

Two ravens sat up in a tree.
She wondered what they'd eat.
"Don't worry, little chick-a-dee",
he said, dreaming of rotting meat, 
"Bodies as far as we can see,  
a most generous treat - 
I can all but guarantee
mankind's doomed defeat."

I've heard that crows are really smart. My friend swears that ever since she tried to shoo them away, whenever they see her, they dive bomb her are start crowing at her, considering her to be their enemy. Birdbrains - not! :-)
