In a jacket of dirty specks
Sticks out among the crows in their rows
A gang of pests gone unchecked

I’m the redneck, outcast elect
Best known for my bare head and long neck
The black-feathered messengers of Hades hate me
So I’m crushed on the lowest branches beneath the rest

But the pressure just makes me stronger than the best
Giant wings like whirlwinds put mountains to the test
Strong enough to kill, but too smart to fight
Instead I alight at ready-made meals to jest the dead

While that mutinous gaggle babbles at each other’s behest
Inside my own mind, almost comically, I just rest
So while haughty hawks like Hughes may rule the top
The buzzard at the bottom is truly best.

Euphony of a Tuneless Song

Bald-headed redneck
In a jacket of dirty specks
Sticks out among the crows in their rows
A gang of pests gone unchecked

I’m the redneck, outcast elect
Best known for my bare head and long neck
The black-feathered messengers of Hades hate me
So I’m crushed on the lowest branches beneath the rest

But the pressure just makes me stronger than the best
Giant wings like whirlwinds put mountains to the test
Strong enough to kill, but too smart to fight
Instead I alight at ready-made meals to jest the dead

While that mutinous gaggle babbles at each other’s behest
Inside my own mind, almost comically, I just rest
So while haughty hawks like Hughes may rule the top
The buzzard at the bottom is truly best.
