Try Not to Laugh at This

    Consider the pigeon
        It’s been itchin’
        for a smidgen
           of recognition

      So it started
      a bird-feed kitchen

     That no bird die
         of malnutrition

How crazy it was for those pigeons during covid. No humans on the street. No breadcrumbs either. The bird had to go bck to work ;) Love it!

Once the taxman gets a hold of this new enterprise, it will do what it does best, shit from above.

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

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!
