Why would you ever bake
blackbirds in a pie
when plucked right from nature
is still a taste for which to die?
Four and twenty seems too much,
at least for one cat to try.
These humans have it wrong,
would you believe how much they lie?
And then to think these birds
could strut about and fly?
It sounds a recipe for disaster
that takes off to the sky.
The lesson to be learned
is never to trust the guy
who takes all his recipes
straight from a nursery rhyme.
