BLACKER THEN NIGHT WAS THE RAVENS COAT,

SILKY AND SOFT TO THE TOUCH.

NO ONE KNEW OF THIS

BLACK DOWNY KNIGHT,

WITH EYES OF THE DEVIL

IT STILL HAD SOME FIGHT!

THE SOUND OF IT’S BEAK CLICKING AGAINST

THE BUTTONS ON THE CUFFS OF THE MAN,

STRAINING AND STRUGGLING TO ESCAPE

FROM THE GRASP OF THAT MIGHTY HAND!

HE CAME FLYING TO THE WINDOW SILL

LATE IN THE NIGHT.

SITTING ON THE LEDGE HE GAVE US A BAD FRIGHT.

AND THE MOST ANNOYING THING

ABOUT THIS WICKED BLACK KNIGHT

WASN’T HIS SHAPE , BUT THE SOUNDS

IS WHAT CAUSED US TO FIGHT!

IT SEEMS THIS BLACK RAVEN LAYING

HERE IN JOHN’S HANDS

COULD HAVE IRRITATED THE DEVIL WHEN HE WENT BERSERK,

FOREVER AND EVER IT SEEMS

WAS THE SOUNDS THAT HE MADE

THAT DARN TAP TAP TAPPING

AT THAT DARN WINDOW PANE!

SO IN IRRITATION

IN ANGER JOHN THREW HIS BIG SHOE

AND HIT THAT POOR RAVEN!

IT KNOCKED THAT POOR BIRD TO KINGDOM COME ,

SO WE ALL RUSH OUT TO SEE

 WHERE THAT RAVEN DID GO!

NOW THERE WILL BE NO MORE

TAP, TAP , TAPPING AT THAT WINDOW PANE.

AS THAT POOR RAVEN WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!
