It's a Bird! It's a Crane! It's Supermania!

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: April 13, 2008

One solution for falling construction cranes…

Beware of cranes, those birds of prey.
They really should be feared.
Those giant beasts can kill and maim.
They're dangerous and weird.

With steely eyes they look below
from high up on their perch.
They have an iron will it seems
that guides their hungry search.

They soar above construction sites
and without warning dive
on unsuspecting passersby
who often don't survive.

Perhaps those birds should be penned up
within a CRANIUM,
a zoo-like cage without a key
to keep us safe from them.
