Who said no first stanza? I like it. I'm probably reading it wrong being an American (unless I'm actually British pretending to be American, conspiracy theories and all), but to me the cuckoo on the wire sounds like a cuckoo clock. So it's a good foil to the crow. It's inanimate and eternal.

Thanks Val, yeah it was me who thought the first stanza might not have been necessary but I do like it, so I'm keeping it. Not intentionally linked the cuckoo with the clock and the connotations involved, but what the hell I'll claim it.

'British pretending to be American'...   hmmm intriguing.
