Pigeons…

…are not like other birds, sensible and sane
One I met the other day had an especially small brain
It did not fly away when I moved towards it
And looked at me head-on like I was quite the dimwit
I demand my piece of ground, get out of the way
Get lost before I do some damage, it seemed to say…

Pigeons fly in packs and bicker over bits of trash and food
Squawking, scrabbling and sounding quite rude
Pigeons will perch on roofs and shit on your head
Mess up your day, might as well have stayed in bed

I heard a man in Trafalgar Square catches them for his supper
He hunts them down and fries them with a floury batter
Seeing that pigeons seem to enjoy eating dog poo
Good luck to him as he surely is eating that stuff too
