  Oh lovely crow,
  how is your day?
  Sing me a song
  if you may!
  
  I've heard from the 
  birds around the lane
  that your voice is as sweet
  as sugar cane.

  A poor old, weary fox
  like me;
  my heart is hurt and 
  lack glee.
  I beg you sing a song
  a song for me
  while I rest beneath
  this shady tree.

  What magnificent beak
  beak you have but your
  voice I've never heard.
  You possess such velvety
  feathers; you're really 
  a  marvellous bird.

  Oh close your eyes 
  and  sing oh crow, 
  and I will listen 
  from below
  the branches of
  this shady tree.
  Oh crow please sing
  a song for me.
  
  Ha aye!! Oh what 
  a stupid bird.
  I hardly understood
  a word
  of that absurd song 
  You sing. Gee whiz!
  All I wanted was your
  Piece of cheese.

  I've toiled all day without
  a bite to eat
  but you have blessed
  me with a treat.
  Your voice is really lovely though
   I advise you not to sing oh crow
   for you have shifted the drums
   Inside my ears
   with that squeaky voice
   I fear to hear.
   Ha ha,oh what a stupid
   bird. Thank you for the cheese.
   Oh don't cry now, you are so 
   kind; you'll find another piece.

  
                      A. P. Johnson.
