Toss a Smidgen

Toss a smidgen To a pigeon And you know he’ll eat it, Though once fed A crumb of bread, You can’t get him to beat it. Still, what’s worse And worth a curse Are seagulls if you’re snacking, For I’ve found When food’s around, They sometimes try attacking. My advice – You’ll pay the price By tempting those with feathers, For they know Where humans go, There’s food in any weathers.

Deb’s right, your title is to die for… and the poem doesn’t disappoint. A real down to Earth, honest to goodness portrayal of those feathered, white rats. Loved it lots, Ilene. Terry
