Everything’s fine and the
day’s going great
until, from nearby
something flies in your face!
You scream in surprise
at the startling burst
of a rat-with-wings bird
(They are really the worst)
that flaps its grey wings
and laughs as it coos,
while you duck for dear life
(And you look a buffoon).
You cover your face
and wait for the splatter.
And lo, falls a poo
from your pigeon attacker!
Now its gotten your coat,
your hair and your shoes,
and the pigeon soars off
(following more haunting coos).
You shudder with fear
and wait for another
then finally stand up
so you can silently suffer.
From afar, watch the pigeons
as you slink your way home
feeling utterly broken
and in search of a comb.
Those grey, sickly bastards
tell all their friends,
and wait for tomorrow
to do it over again.
