A Crow Named Hesperus

I saw a crow today,
A crow named Hesperus.

It was said,
That he would obey every command,
And he would hearken unto wisdom.

I told him to to come,
But he wouldn’t come.
I taught him philosophy,
But he wouldn’t listen.

That crow named Hesperus,
Simply stared.

I told him to go,
But he wouldn’t go.
I explained theology to him,
But he wouldn’t listen.

That crow named Hesperus,
Simply stared.

He did not see the danger,
The hunter.

I told him to fly away,
But he wouldn’t fly.
I explained what would happen,
But he wouldn’t listen.

I saw a crow today,
A crow named Hesperus.

It was said,
That he would obey every command,
And he would hearken unto wisdom.

That crow named Hesperus,
Did not.
