Note: this is a story of a pigeon without curved toes
They called him “straight toes”
Really? –Yes, really … not a big deal, right?
Bullying starts with those ‘innocent’ taunts – he was not pleased
At first, he only heard the usual, hush-hush, type murmurs
It seemed as if he were the only one being teased
“There he go – OOOOHHZZZZZ!
There gooooo- oez … straight toes”
They even said stuff about his nose
He wanted to be friends – they wanted to be foes
Then he figured it out – those jealous birds
Could not understand – he was a straight toes pigeon ...
He began to question if he even needed friends
But, that is not where this story ends
He soon met this tall, skinny, knobby kneed
Wobbly beak, big ears, squeaky voice, girl canary
He tried to avoid her – as he straddled the far end
Of the telephone wire – over the schoolyard playground
To be continued … the friendship of …
“straight toes” and “wobbly beak”
