Our Ugly Condor

The Condor

 

Its feathery wings,

 

Its leathery head,

 

So tender and loving—

 

The king of the dead.

 

Disguised with the ugliness

 

That it was unfortunately bred.

 

 

This magnificent bird

 

Now low in the ranks

 

Instead of high soaring

 

It merely sank.

 

 

Guiltless it suffers

 

Innocent it is.

 

Brutally murdered

 

Diminished to history.

Verse 1:  This is a rap from the Blurb University

 

            Tell'n you about our biodiversity

 

            Me and my crew are here to warn you 

 

            About the wicked sweet bird

 

            Called the California Condor

 

 

Chorus (x2):  Com'on don't ponder

 

              Save the condor

 

               Let the bird soar

 

               Cause it's falling to the floor

 

 

Verse 2:  I'm a Preacher

 

              For this creature

 

              We'll be a helping hand

 

              I'm think'n

 

              Their extinction

 

              Is not part of the plan

 

              The path is clear

 

              Kick into gear

 

              I am hoping that you hear

 

              If we don't act

 

              The impact

 

               Is that all their deaths are near

 

 

Chorus (x2):  Com'on don't ponder

 

             Save the condor

 

             Help the bird soar

 

             Cause it's falling to the floor

 

 

Verse 3:  We make raps

 

              Others do "stanzas"

 

              But what ever

 

              We gonna make this

 

              A bird extravaganza

 

              You listen in

 

              We'll start raising mula`

 

              Tell the press

 

              Show yo zest

 

             And make it sound cool

 

 

Chorus (x3):  Com'on don't ponder

 

              Save the condor

 

              Let the bird soar

 

               Or it'll fall to the floor

California Condor

 

It's a bird that flies,

 

and eats anything that dies.

 

It digs in with it's bald, bald head,

 

but is being killed by poisonous lead.

 

Though his head has no hair,

 

he is as big as a bear.

 

But slowly, sadly, still,

 

these condors become hunters kill! 

 

What I mean really stinks,

 

Condors are becoming EXTINCT!

 

This bird is very big,

 

and builds it's nest with a twig!

 

Though he's ugly, bulky, big,

 

us sixth graders help him jig!

 

One problem with such a big bird,

 

it must have some giant turd!

Condor Desktop Backgrounds

 

 

Hey guys, sorry about the "largeness" of these desktop wallpapers. There was no way to thumbnail it. If you want it as your desktop, right-click on the one you want, and click "set as desktop background." That should do it. I will be adding more later.

The California Condor

 

It soars high,

 

then dives low.

 

It slices the air,

 

with no strife

 

Soon,

 

it'll fall great depths,

 

with no life.

 

Where the corpses'll lie,

 

here, there, and everywhere.

 

Soon,

 

the California Condor'll be no more.

 

And in our memories we'll know,

 

how high it loved to soar,

 

and how it loved to dive so low.

Wiked Awesome Monkey Dude, Why don't you wait until you are done with the rap and then post it instead of just having something black at the bottom of our page. That way people don't think we are weird for having black lines at the end of the page.

All you have to do to see the rap is highlight it with your cursor. It doesn't not show anything.

Actually alice, we made it [me and writing lunatic] during current events last week on friday... it took us about thirty mintues, only because we also had to pay attention to our classwork but we managed to squeeze enough time, about ten minutes approx., into writing it all out. It's like when your hit with a glob of ideas, you just GOT TO write them down... or they're lost forever! Hey thanks for the credits chicken chaser

I think the lyrics should stay up, and you should just suprise everyone when you put it up.

ok that sounded mean [sorry] but right now i'm using my mac and it's pretty much impossible to edit since like all the font and color and size is decoded and it's hard to find where to start and such, so if anyone can please [and thank you] fix it back to it's former self, me n luny will surely and gladly appreciate it!

Wow, I guess our wicked sweet manager, Flying Onion Boy, put up that flahy thingy as our rap lyric title. I don't know how to do it, and I don't Hotdog Bob nor Mr. Nacho have made it to this page, let alone the wiki.
