Coexist in peace with the pigeons---
what's a little bird crap now and then?
Would you rather we slaughtered them
to save the Sunday hats of tourists?
Soar with them through city air,
these angels in feathered incarnation,
feel as graceful as Fred Astaire,
fly with them as they coo and poop
onto unwary parishioners attending
St. Patrick's Church across from the park
where one bombed a handwritten missive
I prepared for you the other day;
I simply wiped the shit away
and stuck the note and a poem in an envelope,
the same time praying for all our souls.
One cannot maintain a proper theology
without a little bird scatology.
