A fowler caught a partridge
For his evening meal
The partridge pleaded, “Spare me
I’ll make you a very good deal
I’ll bring you other partridges
If you show me mercy
Permit me to live now
And make this deal with me.”
The fowler replied, “I shall
Now take your life away
With less scruple because
Of what I heard you say
You want to make a deal
Where you will betray
All your friends and family
To save your wings of bay.”

Great verse, great end. I didn’t expect it, though I should have, considering “Aesop’s Fables”!
