MacGuffin

it was the most unlikely scene 
   Sir Alfred Hitchcock 
      sitting in the park 
   a dapper fat crow alighting 
      at the other end of the bench 
some distant activity 
catches the director's eye 
   now that was certainly strange
   he comments dryly to the crow 
the crow slaps his trousers 
his caw/caw a raucous laugh 
   that's certainly one for the books
and on that commentary 
they both resumed their pleasure 
   parallel to each other 
      tuning each other out
