Two Pigeons

Two pigeons fought over a crumb, The loser dejected and glum. Turns out that the prize Wasn’t food, though – surprise! So the winner seemed dumber than dumb. They waddled away down the road In searching-for-edibles mode. Hope they locate a treat That is something to eat Using smarts more than those that they showed.

I can see it and I smile; imagine them waddling down the street.

Pigeons often act more like seagulls, though I see far more dead seagulls on the highway than pigeons, which gives the up on pigeon brains. / Maurice

Cute one! Pigeon fancier that I am. I usually tout their intelligence, but I have one really dumb pet bird. ;), xomo
