The Palmerston Pigeon
A story about The Palmerston Pigeon and his road in Southsea. Part of a collection of Portsmouth themed stories and poems for Southsea Vibe.
The Palmerston Pigeon
On Palmerston Road
It’s quite a sight
Near the shops and pubs
A pigeon takes flight
With shiny blue feathers
And bright orange feet
The Palmerston Pigeon
Is who you will meet
Through crowds he weaves
A perfect landing
The Palmerston Pigeon
His chest expanding
Pigeons are social
They do like to talk
Well, it’s more a “coo-coo”
They say when they walk
Yes they are vocal
And it’s not all about food
Sometimes their fighting
Sometimes their rude
With a flap of their wings
And a flick of their tail
They strut and they coo
Everyday without fail
The Palmerston Pigeon
The king of his road
A “coo-coo” so loud
Your ears will explode
Strutting and pacing
With pride in his stride
But what makes him happy
Is food by his side
His road, his rules
This is what he said:
“Give me some snacks
Or I’ll poop on your head!”
