THE CROW 
“To the birds’ foot race I want to go, 
As we are full of speed, you know. 
I hope they let the blackbird in, 
As one of us is sure to win. 
“The Blackbird is my pal, you know, 
That’s the reason I want him to go. 
We are out in all kinds of weather, 
As birds of a feather flock together. 
“Did you hear the latest, I do declare 
We are both to have a job out there. 
As I heard the old Eagle say 
He wants black help around that day.”
