Poets and Pigeons by John Stevens
( 2P or not 2P)
Poets and Pigeons,
two P's in a pod.
Some are very humble
Others think they are god.
Throw them a few crumbs
and they will peck at your feet.
They're a most grateful lot
That you will ever meet.
If the morsel is really great
They will eat out of your hand.
Wanting MORE MORE MORE
Pecking MORE than they can stand.
They jockey for position
on the feeding chart each day.
Numbers, NUMbers, NUMBERS
Is there any other way?
Some pigeons stand afar
not risking getting close.
Others land on your head
In hopes they get the most.
There are those who flutter by
and leave deposits in your hair.
"There are better morsels just ahead"
As they develop a pigeon stare.
They envision better food ahead,
like cows at the wires.
It's always tastier over there
Turns out more like briers.
And so it goes in pigeon world
Juking along making their mark
(or is that leaving their mark)
Showing other where to find
Crumbs in the vast poet (pigeon)park.
So there you have the 2P order
Oh! I think this could be me.
Or not.
This has been sitting in the hopper
too long.
