Snatched
High up and safe from human kind
the Robin builds his nestly blind
each round a new location he
finds better than the last says she
build high the ever watchful spys
build low the crawling creature dines
the heavens heave and sway and blow
and rain upon the babies so
hang on the ride will soon be done
and out will come the boiling sun
another day to grow so fast
what next must kids learn to outlast
Then
"Kaw Kaw" the hunting call is heard
and from the sky comes large black bird
a hungry Crow with intellect
and partners pairing choose to peck
the fat one first see how he cries
and raises up his mouth for flies
how smart to hunt in pairs do they
for one can fool the pack away
while pluck from safety second best
the baby snatched from high up nest
don't think that one is all they'll take
as four and twenty heeds the bake
and even though the call is heard
the Snatch for all and every bird
is feared and answered with debonair
attack the thief
pluck out their hair
dive bomb his wing pull at his tail
at all cost this you must not fail
take turns and guard your precious child
for dangers exist out in the wild
young parents first must learn the ways
if life they wish to safely raise
successful homes are built to last
hold strong
secure
and not to fast
find middle ground or rather tree
where watchful eyes can safely be
each generation now to finally see
the secret hatch of family.
