Any Way the Wind Blows

is it better to sh*t amongst the pigeons ~ or poop amidst the doves cries a chick gull to its mother ~ god does not build in straight lines above

I'm off on one of my 'Rad thinks too much but enjoys shoehorning his thoughts into other poets' poems' posts when I say that your clever words, for me, carry major class undertones / overtones. Sadly, we are not all equal - we humans have created this class, status and power thingy. On the other hand, it could just be about lightening one's load..to the words of Queen.. Cheers - Gary. :)

Absolutely Gary part of this one is a class thing, and about making life seem more palatable for ourselves by using euphemisms when talking about the ones less well off as undesirable things, I like that, lightning ones load to the words of queen very clever lol, cheers David

Don't walk beneath eaves or telephone lines and we should be poop free. That baby gull chick will grow up soon enough to discover answers to its own questions. This one may choose to chase the pigeons and doves away, or to fly above their heads and leave its on droppings. Read my meaning into that.

Of course Lin, the animals will always behave as they do, it’s only us that try develop manners, and use euphemisms to make impossible situations sound more palatable, cheers David
