THE VULTURE



Scavenging wretch!



With a long neck



And a stinking breath



Feeding on carcasses of the dead



Bald headed crook with eyes that are red



Eating the putrefied worms of the barren Islands



He roams through the plains of the rich brown highlands



Glides beyond the horizon



When the waves start rising



Like a rocket he flees



Above the deep blue seas



No comfort for him in Antarctica or Australia



Never falls sick or susceptible to malaria



And flies through the sky



In search of a feast when nature do call



Thief of the thieves



Who never plays ball



Greedy funny fellow



 Thin and tall



Never gives only gets



Never forgives and never forgets



Only cheats



Cannot be cheated



Never stands when he is seated



Deception is your perception of life



Traitor!



Stabs Caesar in back with a knife



Hypocrites that serve only time and riches



And will slip and fall in hell like ditches



Lurks behind the corridors of power



Insincere and avarious



Economic adventurer who plans by the hour



Money, money, money



He can never get enough



Cowardly fellow who always acts tough



He never attacks the healthy and robust



But will kill the sick



And eat his intestines with his big red beak
