the plot to topple the crow
atop the spire's wind vane
didn't quite come off

as the crow did sense
the plotter's ploy
he recognized
their gang mentality
more than one ****
the leader had to marshal
he was gutless
with no fortitude
for a one on one
he had not a scintilla of rectitude

the crow mounted
an unexpected strike
on the leader
he swooped down
from the wind vane
and tore the leader's
eyes out
with his sharp beak
which did **** off the leader's
toppling feat

the other gang members
were as gutless too
they ran away
from the fray
they all had feet of clay

the crow then ascended
to the top of the spire
where he kept his kingship
of the wind vane
