[“texas biologist imported skulls, skeletons of otters and birds; now, he’s headed to prison.”]

Sung to “Trains and Boats and Planes” (my most farfetched song—but this is a farfetched story.)

Skulls of birds and cranes,
Were sent my way,
They came from places I cannot say,
I shipped them in,
Right to my home,
The skulls of the birds and cranes,
Got me picked up,
And sent away.

I could not control,
The urge I had,
To buy these tiny, skeletal things.
I wanted more,
But not the wings,
The skulls of the birds and cranes,
Were good enough,
Enough for me.

They were from a different part of the world,
I know I shouldn’t have purchased them,
My hobby’s easy to condemn,
I’m waiting for one more it’s true,
My hummingbirds,
Oh, where are you?

Skulls of birds and cranes,
Were sent my way,
They came from places I cannot say,
But things have changed,
I’m not at home,
The skulls of the birds and cranes,
Put me away,
A six-month stay.
Whoa, whoa...
Hmm, hmm, hmm...

(End)

--GRA.
