Even AS You and I.

An old crow sat on a cornfleld fence
And shouted his raucous cry;
His remarks were stupid and void OF
sense,
Even as you and !.
But there he sat as black as your hal
And footed his harsh bazoo;
That old fool bird had to be heard
Even as and you.
For all know. that blamed old crow
AS he squaked in his flendish glee.
Was teasing his folks with his harm
less Jokes,
Even as you and me.
SO here's to the bird who's bound to
be heard
No matter how crude his gem;
Let others inspect, approve or reject
It's matter that's up to them.
