They Live Among Us

                                           

                       Ancient Rome, have their feral cats, 
                       Key West, have their clucking cocks,
                       New York, has their infested fearless rats,
                       Chesapeake Bay, has their horseshoe crab lochs.  

                       Capistrano, have their returning hallow swallows,
                       Louisville, has their champion thoroughbreds,
                       Alaska, have their salmon returning to the shallows,
                       O Hinckley(Ohio), have their buzzards returning from the dead.
