There were vultures at El Cuco.
They were photogenic.
They did not have babies
But Kerri still took a lot of pictures
Even though they’re not cute
Or even particularly pretty.
But don’t tell them that
I wouldn’t want to be on their bad side.
They hung out at the estuary
Scavenging stuff
We’re not really sure what
Their beaks always seemed to be empty
And they certainly didn’t seem happy
So maybe they weren’t very successful
Which must be frustrating
Even ugly things shouldn’t be hungry
As long as they’re not trying to eat me
A vulture wouldn’t try to eat me would it?
It had snails to peck at.
