C J Dennis - Bird Song - CrowC J Dennis - Bird Song - Crow
Work rating: Medium


Crow I detest the Carrion Crow! (He`s a raven, don`t you know?)   He`s a greedy glutton, also, and a ghoul, And his sanctimonious caw Rubs my temper on the raw.   He`s a demon, and a most degraded fowl. Blue Wren I admire the pert Blue-wren And his dainty little hen-   Though she hasn`t got a trace of blue upon her; But she`s pleasing, and she`s pretty,   And she sings a cheerful ditty; While her husband is a gentleman of honour. Cuckoo I despise the Pallid Cuckoo, A disreputable "crook" who   Shirks her duties for a lazy life of ease. I abhor her mournful call, Which is not a song at all   But a cross between a whimper and a wheeze.
