Our friend the vulture

Nothing tempers the saccharinity of the holiday season like a wee memento mori. Here is a fine one, courtesy of our friend the vulture.


I happen to be a great fan of vultures -- I think it might be the neck ruff that does it for me.

Nope, vultures don't scare me either: they always remind me of the Beatles vultures in Disney's Jungle Book :)

Loved that poem, made me shudder and smile at the same time. Love your mittens!

Is there a vulture mitt to come? Perhaps with a ruff around the wrist?

Great poem. Oddly, I found it a perfect way to start the day.
