I don't like vultures.
I don't know why, maybe it is in my nature?
I do, however, know a lot of vultures, and they aren't ALL bad.
They are some of the funniest friends I have ever had.
The best thing about a vulture that you will find,
Is that they are very caring and kind.

Why don't I like vultures? Let me elaborate.
Well first, it looks like their bodies are ready to deflate.
Also, they have these big, bulging, brown eyes,
Where I can't tell if they are telling the truth or lies.
Have you noticed their cumbersome wings?
It is impossible to carry a backpack with those things.
And don't get me started on their long misshapen feet.
They make it difficult to win anything at the annual birds of prey track meet.
But the worst thing about being a vulture that I can see,
Is that I am one, and there is no changing me.

One day while hanging in the Willows with my friends,
Erica the Emu told of a party that day in the Narrows, just around the bend.
Gerry the Giraffe, who is the nicest person you would ever meet,
Had a birthday party with balloons, presents, and treats.
While in the bouncy castle, one of Gerry's balloons became untied,
And a strong wind came along and took it for a ride.
The balloon flew away into the sky, and this made Gerry feel very sad.
The fact that Erica couldn't fly to retrieve the balloon also made him very mad.
