New Artwork – Ian Rogers – a Venue of Vultures

Another collective noun – today, a Venue of Vultures. Not to be confused with a “kettle” of vultures, which is a group of vultures circling in the sky.

Ian Rogers - A Venue of Vultures

The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that’s the reason why
He very, very, rarely feels
As well as you and I.

His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh! what a lesson for us all
To only eat at dinner!

– Hilaire Belloc
