Pigeons

1.Pigeons

 

10 grey pigeons cooing on the wall

10 grey pigeons cooing on the bloody wall

If I’m really any kind of shot at all

There’ll only be 9 grey pigeons cooing on the wall

 

10 grey pigeons still cooing on the wall

5 in the morning, do they ever sleep at all?

10 sodding pigeons still cooing on the wall

It seems the trusty air-rifle actually missed them all

 

10 grey pigeons cooing on the wall

Yes, I said 9 by now, but definitely missed them all

10 grey pigeons still cooing on the wall

But, next door’s ginger cat isn’t moving at all

Andy - you need to borrow my semi-feral cat 'Dangerous Dave' to subtract a few numbers! Amusing piece, well written.

Thanks Steve/Laura for bothering to comment. Nice to get some feedback.

Just a daft poem, but fun to write and hopefully fun to read (unless you're a cat lover).
