Doc

The seductive way

You tilted your head

The urgent noise you'd make

And then the words came

"Doc's a good boy. "

So we knew that

You'd been truly bad

My Grandmother and Doc

My Mom and Doc

NB:Doc was an intelligent crow my mom and dad rescued. They rescued three eggs when the cat killed the mother. Two eggs hatched but only one survived. Doc imprinted on my mother and grandmother; but he was always my mother's bird and called her Maw or mom. Doc had a huge vocabulary for a bird unfortunately he also picked up a few swear words from his misdeeds of taking things from neighbours that were shiny. My mom was always returning pins, rings etc. Luckily he didn't do that too far from home so they could be returned. Doc would always say he was a good boy when he was scolded or when he knew he' done something wrong. Doc lived 27 years until a skunk sprayed him and it killed him.

Take me out to the ball game

Take me out to the ball game

where the stadium's

one hundred and forty years old

The seductive lure of cork

Hitting home runs

And men tilting at the bases

Urgent running to beat the ball

As many a game was won.
