ode to the grackle

Care of my wife, who felt pity for the poor grackles... :)

The grackle, a much maligned bird,
Coughs the creakiest squawks ever heard.
He'd trade his left wing
For a lesson to sing,
But no one will teach him a word!

So this poor fellow's left in the dark,
And is hated by all for his bark.
In the future, oh please,
Think him not a disease--
Or at least, just watch out where you park.

Love it. But I would have been kinder to the grackles.  I kind of like them.

a texan avian, the grackle,
will loudly coo, caw and cackle.
as tom lehrer said,
they're better off dead,
by cyanide applied like spackle.
