Beware the Murder of Crows

Lovely little ditty...

Beware, Beware

Don't stop and stare

A Murder of Crows roam without a care

To rob the townsfolk of their ware

*

Be Wise, Be Wise

Don't look in their eyes

Their true nature is protected by lies

Their evil is hidden by their feathery disguise

*

Walk Away, Walk Away

Even when they beckon you to stay

Don't listen to the deceptive things they say

With your sanity and sense you'll surely pay

*

Hide with me, Hide with me

In my cottage with a cup of tea

You'll be safe from the Murder of Crows, you'll see

Until you close your eyes and from life I set you free

Come hide with me...trust me...you'll be safe...(Image generated using craiyon.com)
