Bird Of The Badlands Poem by Josehf Murchison

Bird Of The Badlands

Rating: 5.0

Who is a Russell?
And what can he be?
A Crow, a Grackle,
or Brewer's like me.

Is he a Raven,
a Warbler, or Dat?
All the same color,
but don't wear a hat.

I'm a Mockingbird,
however, take care.
The things that I say,
can fly through the air.
