The Crow's Loot


Two crows recently moved into the neighbourhood
And scanned the place, while they on a lamp-post stood.
They speculated on who their aerial neighbours would be
Rock pigeons and little doves brown were all that they could see.

Said one crow to another, 'What a pity! We have stupid creatures for neighbours,
Whose intelligences are not in par with ours.'
The other crow in reply cawed, 'Oh, but look at the bright side!
Delicious eggs for us they would atleast provide.'

With the breeding season having arrived at last,
The pigeons and doves proceeded to build their nests fast.
And having done so, they laid their eggs one by one,
To bring to life into the world, their very own daughter or son.

The crows scanned the neighbourhood high and low, and east and west,
And they spotted some pigeon eggs left unguarded in a nest.
They quickly swooped down and looted the eggs away,
To a comfy spot, where they might partake of their meal for the day.

When they were asked, 'Do you think this is right?
Devouring a newly forming life, is it moral in your sight?'
The crows in reply cawed and gleefully told
'Ah, but we live in a predator-eat-prey world !!'

^ Thanks for the likes.

Random Rhyme


Life is a dish having many a flavor,
That one gets to partake of and savour.
Whether the sweet, sour, salt or spice,
Or even the distasteful bitter slice.

Attacked


There was once a bird, sweet and small;
Who gleefully soared through the clouds, and over trees tall.

Merrily, she went about her life;
Until one day, when she was tossed into a strife.

She was threatened by two gigantic birds of prey,
That had marked her as their target for the day.

In the little bird's heart, fear did arise,
For how can she win these birds that are twice her size?
