What a calamity! <br />What is this that has befallen the valley? <br />No dawn chorus <br />No Shep, the sheepdog to meet the bus <br />Simon rooster has no wish to crow <br />Mellow lark has no get-up-and go <br />Natures community has never known it so dark <br />As the days wear on, still they come <br />We can’t say when the homage will be done <br />Who could commit this mortal sin <br />Still..cold..lifeless lies Cock Robin <br />Inspector Mole, determined to find the killer <br />Scrutinises all, in effort to identify the sinner <br />There may be a list of suspects and many a confession <br />To find the truth he will make it his obsession <br />He has the one <br />Little Tommy Tucker, the farmer’s son <br />What befell the man to give the boy a gun? <br />Dusk till dawn this man would toil <br />Hoeing..planting.. and reaping the soil <br />By natures hand Robin was put on this land <br />To brighten..enrich..and strengthen the heart of man.<br /><br />brian roy skyers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-killed-cock-robin/
