Pigeons not Social Distancing.

Our lives are well restriction, during a lock-down day
We have to keep our distance, when out to shop or play
But someone hasn’t told these birds, not to get so near
When they sit upon the a roof, waiting for the road to clear
-
You see they spend their days on roads, pecking at the tars
Looking for seeds and little grubs, dropped by passing cars
Living in a country place, many tractors on the streets
The birds have a search around, for all those special treats.
-
But every time a car goes by, they fly up in the air
Playing chicken all the time, with only seconds to spare
Drivers often hit the brakes, giving themselves a lurch
But these birds fly away, returning to this perch
-
Two metres we are told to stay, a gap we must not fill
But these very naughty birds, haven’t learnt that drill
I haven’t heard of any news, of pigeon’s taken sick
They did suffer from a flu; this virus, they're immune to it.
The one on the vent isn't doing a very good job of keeping the rest organized either.

@byrdlip I thought the same, especially as he has a special chief uniform.

Bird flu for them perhaps! A very cleverly worded poem....

@happypat Thanks Pat, I try my best especially as they now appear in my local paper.

I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and measurement as they are winged space apart!!! Great poetry too :)
