Freeway Diners

 

In sombre black from head to toes.

There are few birds as smart as crows

both in the manner of their dress

 and in their native cleverness.

They seize each opportunity

to gain advantage easily.

Patrol the motorways at will

 and daily dine on fresh roadkill.

The need not struggle to survive

as long as human beings drive.

The crows are wise enough to know

 exactly when and where to go

 to satisfy their appetites.

They have their choice of tasty bites.
