Bedraggled and unkempt, a raven came to perch
Uninvited on my car's hood...I guess to search
For scraps of the ham sandwich it saw me eating.
Formally bowing, it cawed and croaked a greeting;
"Old man," it continued, "could you throw me a scrap?
"Out here I fear I would not last in this cold snap."
"No way!" I jeered, so it deposited its crap.
Selfishness, it seems, is a self-inflicted trap....
