You and David should collaborate on something, anything, you're both so great at silly, off the wall, irrelevant, et. al. You are both laugh generators. Love this, it is precious. I just scrolled up and giggled again. Hope all is well in your world. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I know this is serious business we're talking about here, but I had to laugh!

Look ‘ere GW… I’ll stop laughing when you stop posting wacky…. I mean hilarious stuff like this. Gave me a good giggle… just hope that pigeon hasn’t got his beak in the cash register… or the stock!

Very nice, Gershon; my older brother use to raise pigeons, back then every young boy had a coop of sorts. Remember On The Water Front, a great flick. Brando at his best.

I love how it gives the pigeon a personality and makes you smile with the idea of a bird-run kitchen. It’s simple, clever, and definitely puts a lighthearted spin on everyday things. Easy to enjoy!

couldn't help myself....laughed in my office all by myself. A 'bird feed kitchen' is priceless...so creative and witty, Gershon. Enjoy your evening, Sara
