Feathers I


Feathers I

---

"Ah, crow nature! Poor crow
nature!" said Mr. Pecksniff.

                ---Apologies to C. Dickens
---

Hot and humid. The last
Thursday of June.

Black crow-of-few-words
Feathers was deemed Chief
Crow of Crows---

mostly because he looked,
sounded, and smelled just like---
 
yup! you guessed it---

a crow,

and not a one of his
feathered friends wished
to assume the thankless job.

It was hardly an honor.

The title, acronymed CCROC,
was pronounced crock;

no accident, that.

(to be cont'd)
