I LOVE CROWS‘!!!!

By Jean Monce Bryant

I love crows

That may seem odd

But they are creatures

Straight from God

They are so smart

They are so funny

They make the grey days

Oh so sunny /

They have me trained

It’s plain to see

They hold great power

Over me

They look me right

Into the eye

And to the door

I quickly fly

To open up

The jar

that’s there

And fling the peanuts

In the air

They call their buddies

To the feast

A selfish bunch?

No not the least

They share so freely

Help the needy

Think of others

Are not greedy

They share the wealth

They share the bounty

Would WE did that

In every county

They care for all

The young and old

THEIR Health Care Plan

Is what I’m told

WE say that animals

Are dumb

And to that myth

Some may succumb

‘WE grab the Biggest

The very best part

And with our words

Can wound

a heart

WE keep so busy

Life’s such

a rush

When lonely ones

Would love our touch

It does not take

A lot of time

A word of love

Is quite sublime

My lesson’s over

Please don’t be sad

Those wondrous birds

Will make you glad

I love their swagger

I love their strut

They look majestic

Like that King Tut

I like their squawk

I like their talk

I like the funny

Way they walk

I like their sharing

I like their caring

I like the family Love

They’re swearing

They have some habits

That they should break

But don’t we all

For heaven’s sake

I guess it’s plain

As your own nose

It’s obvious

That I love crows!!!
