In New York, the peregrine falcons swoop down
Trying to snatch pigeons right off the ground
But you can search Brooklyn (or even downtown)
And you probably won't find a crow.
In Seattle, the petulant seagulls attack
Trying to capture my favorite snack
But I looked around and was taken aback.
I just couldn't find any crows.
I took to the country to find some out there
But the scarecrows were bored with no birds to scare.
Not a caw to be heard, all the power lines bare.
There's a serious shortage of crows.
I walked by a restaurant and thought, "What's that smell?"
Popped into the kitchen, it was bird-baking hell.
Black feathers everywhere, I heard someone yell,
"Why is everyone ordering crow?"
It was people backtracking on their Mahomes hate.
They begrudgingly stared at the bird on their plate
But the hype train was leaving, they couldn't be late.
So they bit into that bitter crow.
