The Old Pale Eyed Crow

On top of the gum tree the old pale eyed crow Is talking to his neighbours of his kind of what they would know Perhaps he is saying to them if this way you do fly I will show you where food is to here 'tis nearby Low in rank as songsters but of corvids 'tis known That when it comes to intelligence in a class of their own All species of corvids are clever most bird lovers agree They will not have an argument on that from me The survival skills of corvids never cease to surprise Proof of such I have seen with my own eyes To soften to eat I've seen them soaking hard bread in water believe that if you may From Nature we learn something new every day And the pale eyed crow cawing atop the tall gum tree There's more to it far more than the eyes can see.
