Ode To a Pigeon!

Do you know you have a brain? Do you know the worlds insane? Fluff your feathers, peck the ground, While I think thoughts, that are so profound. Sixty million years or so, you’ve been strutting to and fro, Knowing nothing of you past, except where the last crumb was cast! I know so much about you, where you’re from, your type of poo! I'm like a God who knows your fate; you’re destined for my dinner plate. You so thoughtless on your way, I'm evolved and here to stay. I have history; I have sight- your tiny bowels are stuffed with white. I envy you your little brain, way to small to go insane! Like all the millions of your kind, You see nothing with your mind.

Laughing while reading this one, David! You sure do bring a witty, welcome voice to Poetry Soup. So glad you are sharing your work with us. (But I don't think you'll be finding a pigeon on my dinner plate.) Terrific writing and welcome to the Soup family! Happy Holidays, Carolyn
