The grackle's voice is less than mellow,

His heart is black, his eye is yellow,

He bullies more attractive birds

With hoodlum deeds and vulgar words,

and should a human interfere,

Attacks the human in the rear.

I cannot help but deem the grackle

An ornithological debacle.

Please comment if you wish.
