The Crow and The Crust

The crow picked up a crust of bread

and spread black wings to fly

and then, oh dear, he dropped the bread

so, once again, he tried

to pick it up and hold it tight

and when the crow was sure

his hold was firm then he took flight

but, oh, dropped it once more

and so, a third time, tried the crow

to carry off the bread

but once more dropped the crust and so

flew off hungry instead.
