Stumpy Proud

Stumpy proud

Stumpy strong

without feet

you hop along

 

other birds

your friends not

mock the feet

that you ain't got!

Baby Pigeons

 

Pretty baby birds

so soft and fluffy too!

hatched upon my balcony

cause what was I to do?

I couldn't pitch them overboard

though all my friends did swear

that if I left the eggs to hatch

I'd always have them there

But no I couldn't do it

my little heart did break

at the thought of all that mess

the two eggs they would make

and so I let them stay

to hatch and then to fly

those pretty baby birds

have long since said good-bye!

Stumpy Pigeon







Stumpy, looking for food!

STUMPY PIGEON

Stumpy Pigeon lacking feet

Tell me now, how do you sleep

For you can’t roost on perch of tree

No feet have you, nor talons (three)

So do you lie against a wall

Throughout the night, do you fall

Or wedge, do you, between two stone

While your friends perch, you sleep alone

Oh Stumpy Pigeon, I cry my friend

For on two feet, you can nay depend
