America

From anywhere out of the blue Comes a rifle shot of white glue With little fanfair It plops in your hair As another pigeon counts, "Coo!"

A airplane out of the blue, had done the same — it’s true. But what came down, was more like brown. And the victims successfully sued!

Hello Rico …similar to: a little birdie flying high, dropped a message from the sky, and as I wiped it from my eye, I thanked the Lord that cows don’t fly. I got a real giggle out of your limerick Rico - Lindsay

Oh boy, that's not a nice predicament. I've had a robin hit me in the past, but never the whole pigeon. Enjoyed.

When I lived in Paris, there was a salon on the street where the pigeons spent their day on bombing runs targeting the ladies AFTER their hair was done . . ...Aloha! Rico
