Pigeon Farm

There once was a pigeon 
Who lived in a cage
Its fluffy exterior 
All tormented with rage.
The beaky beast ruled
The entire place
Scaring it's fellow creatures
Venom scribbled all over its face.

"PIGEON PIGEON!!!" all the other animals cried
Look what you've done
All the other pigeons have died.
Defiantly the pigeon stood firm
And puffed his chest out proud
"Can't you see from my actions 
I stand out from the crowd!"
Later that day all the other birds devised a plan.

Ollie the owl who lived in the tree
Whispered to everyone
Had them chuckling with glee
To make a fool out of the pigeon
Was their plea.

Ollie the owl snook into his cage
Grabbed him by his talines 
Plucking his feathers like a leaf of sage
Ernie the Eagle snatched him 
And swiftly flew him into town
Without any care.
Mr Pigeon now shivering in disbelief
A fallen tyrant soon to be disceased 
Ernie the Eagle now the thoughtful chief
Vowed not to speak of Pigeon the life thief.
