As I sat in my car with my taco and drink,
Quietly eating and trying to think,
A crow saw food on a plate on the ground
And quickly flew down to eat what he found.
When he landed he sat on the edge of the plate,
Flipping the food in his face - what a state!
Refried beans were between his eyes
Running down on his face - what a funny surprise!
He then tried to stuff all the beans in his bill.
They oozed out at the sides against his will.
Over and over he tried in his greed
To grab ALL the beans - he was hungry indeed!
He could not fly off with the spoil he had found,
And he did not expect with the beans to be "crowned"!
He stood there and squawked and was really a sight,
But he left the beans there when he finally took flight.
