The Jackdaw

Here prances the proud Jackdaw

Strutting and surveying all

With edacious eye:

"'Tis high

'Tis tall

It matters not

All the more for I, the genteel Corvid,

The more

The better

The more I get

The more I got

I caren't if it's fresh or in rot.

As long as it gleams

Or can be pricked, picked and pecked

Although it seems

That I forgot

Where I placed my lot

My desirous dexterity has the spot flecked

Yea, X marks the spot!"
