Written 9th July 2023

Some pigeons pooped in the bottle garden Without as much as “I beg your pardon” Did loop the loop afore plopping their poop In the neck of the bottle with one swoop. It is clear that it does cometh to pass Bottle gardens become mucky morass For onto those bottles of flora, alas Pigeons ejectamenta en mass.

Those pigeons have no respect for bottle gardens,whenever they feel the need its bombs away.

Too right brother John, this is just a fun write not to be taken seriously, though pesky pigeons drop their poops wherever it suits… Sis Belle

Lol, sounds like they are playing a game of who can hit the bulls-eye! I have been so embarrassed by some of the birds who are swooping and pooping on my car. There is a tree over my driveway, if I can't get the car hosed down before we have to drive, if is mortifying! Anyway, maybe hawks are not so bad after all, when you think about it...I hate to see the birds end in a sad feast in a hawk's clutches, but sometimes!!?! :) <3

Bird poop can be so annoying especially when they are flying. I dislike birds being a sad feast too, it’s nature and nothing can anyone do. Thank you BJ… Belle

I hate pigeons they dirty my pavement. But I can bear to kill them, getting in a bottle garden must have made quite a mess, but I freed them. Lovely take on the contest best of luck. Hugs xx

Hi Victor, pigeons do make a mess, but to kill them would be an evil thing to do nevertheless. Thank you, Belle. (I’m sure I replied to your comment before and it’s disappeared, have noticed it’s happened to my replies to others too.)

Belle, your poem is an exquisite manifestation of beauty, one that I cannot help but find uproariously amusing - a testament to the whimsical nature of life's intricacies.
