                        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”
