FRIEND TO THE PIGEONS

 
A loaf of bread he carried into town today 
Knowing his problems would vanish away
Why the bread I hear you wonder and say 
He likes to see the pigeons on full display 

Sitting alone out soon came the bread 
Pigeons loved him and liked to be fed 
He didn't care what other people said 
Just happy to feed those pigeons instead 

Pigeons he decided are a very smart bird 
The rustle of his bread they quickly heard 
Cooing together as if it was a secret word 
Passers by think they are silly and absurd 

I look on this man and think of his life 
Does he have children or maybe a wife
Looks old to me I'm guessing eighty three
A friend to pigeons I'm sure you agree
