THE VULTURE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The vulture eats between his meals
Alternate Author Name(s): Belloc, Joseph Hilaire Pierre Rene
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!
