I went for a walk

down the long and dusty road

thinking and pondering

about my life’s unique load.

Three big black birds came

and soon kept pace with me.

“That is nice,” I say,

“thank you for the company!”

One replies, “We hope

some dinner we will soon get.”

They circle above me.

“Hey,” I yelled, “I’m not dead yet!”
