December 22, 2022

These are the remains of a Turkey Vulture
But the poor bird ran out of luck
But looking closely you can determine
Who it was that committed the snuff
If the feathers were torn out it was probably a mammal
If it was a bird such as a hawk, the feathers were plucked
I had to delete a line from this poem
For those who know me, it won't be hard to deduct.

(Special thanks to Ann for teaching me this!)
