THE VULTURE by HILAIRE BELLOC

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE VULTURE EATS BETWEEN HIS MEALS
Last Line: To only eat at dinner!
Subject(s): ANIMALS; BIRDS; DINNERS & DINING; FOOD & EATING; GLUTTONY; VULTURES;

The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that's the reason why
He very, very, rarely feels
As well as you and I.

His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh! what a lesson for us all
To only eat at dinner!
