When They Gather

A flock blusters in,
out of the winter flurry,
amid the squawk and flutter
the crows find their gathers.

The men place bets
when they flock by the TV,
and the women drink
when they gather in the kitchen.

The TV-gather struts and blusters,
makes noise, flaps their wings,
throws food in the air,
and the women drink
when they gather in the kitchen.

You'll find me in the kitchen, milking the women for recipes.

I'm picturing 'your lot' throwing their food in the air. I gather (your favourite word) a good time was had by all!
