marianne moore - the wolf and the stork lyrics

Loading...

wolves can outeat anyone;
indeed at a festivity
such gluttony second to none
almost ended fatally
when a bone choked a wolf as he gulped what he ate;
but happily since he was inarticulate
a stork chanced to hear him groan
was besought by frowns to run and peer
and ah, had soon relieved the beast of the bone;
then, having done him a service, had no fear
so asked him how compensate her
“compensate?” he inquired with bared t++th
“a humorist, i infеr!
you should be glad that you draw breath
thrust your beak down my throat and you somеhow escaped death?
be off. you are unappreciative;
shun my paws if you care to live.”
