Ode to a Turkey Buzzard
by Kenneth
You watch in proud and silent dignity,
Shy in the presence of vain Chlorophonia
and the glory of Yellow-throated Euphonia.
Take heart, great bird,
Fly high, grace the beautiful littlesky
with your winged and grand display.
Know well, the world is better
for your scorned scavenging.
Could we ask for less?
Who else to clean up the mess?
Nature is perfectly balanced, each creature has its place...now if we'd just respect that.
