Engagement Pics
Sometimes on my morning walk,
When no one is around,
I’ll pass by a photographer
And know that I am bound
To see a dressed-up couple,
Posed and smiling, thinking of
The lovely pics to show to all
To prove their new-found love.
With the river in the background,
It’s a lovely urban scene,
But today had something added,
Not the usual routine.
For the couple was instructed
To run straight, as they did do,
To the spot upon the promenade
Where pigeons strut and coo.
The startled birds all lifted up
And circled in the air
As the camera person snapped away,
The pigeons everywhere.
The happy couple laughed,
Then all the birds flew down to roost,
For some New York flair into those pics
They’d surely introduced.
