Uuugly

The crockpot warbler is disgusting bird
contorted face, droopy expression
slimy mouth, tongue hung to its waist like necktie
bill that resembles decrepit chainsaw

This dirty bird is bottom heavy to the extreme,
for that reason can not sustain flight,
and soon after takeoff has to alight
to demonstrate its droppings pedigree

Think of a gargoyle, its best years behind
rambling senile of the dripping kind
shot to pieces, of greasy feathers
Crockpot Warbler hope never to meet

Shadow of which foretells
economic downturn
minimum duration a decade
from here to Japan
