The roof crier

In his newly acquired silver coat
Soaking up the heat
Of a luminous spring day
Impervious to the blaring rays
Sir Raven rests on the tiled roof 
Before delivering a high and loud banter
A few  rodomontades are heard 
To attract our attention
Followed by a keen message 
That everyone hears
But none understands
Disgusted by our apathetic behaviour
To this rousing speech
Sir Raven flies away with a last comment 
Flapping his wings in a disparaging way
To the next set of neighbourly roofs
To repeat the process.
