redrew my old pic from years ago

As I was walking all alane,
I heard twa corbies making a mane;
The tane unto the t'other say,
‘Where sall we gang and dine to-day?’

The term ‘a murder of crows’ may originate from the folk belief that crows sat in judgment of those accused of crimes from among their flock. If a ‘defendant’ was found guilty, the flock would kill it.
