The Crow’s Weighty Mission

Why is the crow
Carrying such a large twig?
It is not nest building time.
Maybe a strengthening rod,
To help hold the new chicks
In their cozy cradles?
Or a protection stick
To help ward off
The feral predators?
Whatever the reason,
His tenacious flight
Is a weighty mission!
