An ode to crow

O Corvus splendens!
I pine for thy attitude!
Cawing away in the morning, heedless!
Raiding the fisherwoman's basket, fearless!
Holding court over peers' unknown misdeeds!
Rearing young of own and Eudynamys,  undismayed!
O creature of unyielding courage and curiosity!
I pine for thy attitude!!!
