PLUMP, PORTLY PIGEON ...
PLUMP, PORTLY PIGEON ...
To All My Dear Friends
Plump, portly pigeon ...
Pecking at the lawn ...
What is he looking for??
It can't be seed ...
In our garden, we only have ...
Suet-packed coconut-shells ...
And the little birds strip those ...
Nothing left, in case of need!
Could it be now ...
With the worst of storm over ...
Maybe little worms
Are coming up for air ...?
Well, they'd better be careful ...
They'd better look out ...
Because plump, portly pigeon
Is loitering there ...
