Pick Another Dilly

Moon dancing in Trafalgar Square When pigeon poop* soared through the air It splattered around Without touching ground But no one had a facemask spare . . . . *aka London hairspray

Only when the poop lands on our body with a 'slosh', we look up to see the culprit !

Hello Rico ... there must be a competition between seagulls and pigeons to find who's aim is better - thank you Rico - Lindsay

Pigeon poop causes the most damage but seagull poop can overwhelm a skunk, so best to dodge both! Aloha!

good one, they are very notorious for pooping and not caring where it lands.

Actually, the love to pretend they are dive bombers and aim carefully for hairdos!

75 or more years ago, I wrote Walt Disney to suggest he make the novel, "Thunder Cave" into a yuletide movie. He replied to the effect that pickaninnies were not a good investment in the USA. I was surprised, as I thought children tryiing to find their parents was a good story . . . .
