of mischief and theft
swoop low! brightness of eye, and-
slyer than you seem

Our sweet breakfast guest was a vampire.
His finger eating I did admire.
Listened to Philharmonic Choir
His falsetto lit the house on fire
Favorite apple pie was a Macintyre
We had purchased them in Lincolnshire
Blood was his favorite drink, his desire.
I thought it looked ugly and smelled rather dire.
He was great as it said in the flyer.
We went swinging on an old black tire.
I was sly, but frankly, he was slyer.
He said he would not turn me. Oh, that liar!

Little beggars with wings
Little bully birds
Adapt to their environment
They eat quite well
Better than most
Little feathered urchin
Little pavement peckers
Evolve into winged cons
They fence quite well
Slyer than most
Those impressive beggar birds
Those resilient creatures
They easily make their way
They live a lovely life.
Surviving better than most
