The Palmerston Pigeon

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!”
