London Pigeon?
far removed from usual venue where
we see you in your thousands -
that is, Trafalgar Square.
Perhaps this distant cousin
(inspiration of this rhyme)
is a Mediterranean relative
living in sunny clime!
Blue-grey familiar pigeon,
here in Nice’s tourist throng,
you seem to hide an untold tale,
you avian hop-a-long.
Our sympathy’s awakened
by your limping halted gait
and causes us to wonder at
what caused your hampered gait?
An accident?
A cruel trap?
A fall from perch too high?
A scrap, with perhaps a dog or cat?
Quick exit from a pie?
All such are possibilities,
the truth we’ll never know
but we’ll air one last suggestion
before we have to go …
Just, perhaps, you are a clever bird
with craft and devious guile
and beyond your gross deformity
you hide a cunning smile.
For tourists, on their picnics,
with generosity,
feel sorry for your halting limp
so share their lunch and tea!
