Thought For The Day
The Ravens,
in waistcoats and monocles
postulate punctilious platitudes.
Did you know harrumphs
originated from bird brains?
I believe one of them in the far field
had a cane and resembled
a character from Bleak House.
There is no corn here and yet they peck away
at the larder of the mockingbirds
and tufted titmouse.
It is not strength
when you stomp on
a child.
Ahh, the hawk arrives
and
away
the would be despots.
Power lives
in the shadow
of fear.
