I once thought a crow Had pecked through my trash bags. But it was just you, You scattering all the bad things I’ve never done. Just for fun, To run my name through banana peels And gum. The trees weep with weary limbs Looking at the cobwebs in the grass. The crow, too craven, The raven, too slow. I wouldn’t guess you weak willed, I wouldn’t have known The way this would go. The crow, too craven, The raven, too slow.

Too Slow
I once thought a crow Had pecked through my trash bags. But it was just you, You scattering all the bad things I’ve never done. Just for fun, To run my name through banana peels And gum. The trees weep with weary limbs Looking at the cobwebs in the grass. The crow, too craven, The raven, too slow. I wouldn’t guess you weak willed, I wouldn’t have known The way this would go. The crow, too craven, The raven, too slow.
