Osprey, Osprey
Hunting Osprey
Skimming the waves and
Looking for prey
Nightblack talons uncurl,
Majestic wings unfurl
A screech splits the sky
This is the osprey’s
hunting cry
A splish, a splash, a sploosh! What’s that?
Osprey’s head snaps all the way back.
Scree! Dive, flap and fly,
Osprey’s talons split the sky
Osprey vs. Fish is like knife vs. butter
Or chocolate chip cookie vs.
Giant Cookie Cutter
Talons like knives
Beak like a drill
This Osprey is going
Right for the kill
Osprey goes home
to enjoy her meal
This story’s not a poem
It’s really real!
Always think of Osprey
Talons like steel
And a beak with
A drill-like feel
