pigeons
Having danced our selves silly to My Chemical Romance last night where ever they played, we arrived at Paddington to an announcement of 2 “Please do not feed the pigeons, we have a strict no pigeon feeding policy at this station, will the person feeding the pigeons please stop it” I’m sure it went on with you are a very naughty person, imagine not charging them. This was swiftly followed by a “no riding bikes skateboarding or rollerblading in the station” broadcast. My issue is that the pigeons might be hungry and bored, I mean, the seagulls are hungry still because the pond ran out of water, so I would imagine that the pigeons too are hungry, why it was only last week that I saw one pigeon flinging a piece of green mouldy bread around Forbury park. Now I don’t think that the pigeon would have chosen to eat such a vulgar slice of bread had people not been deterred from feeding them at the station. Moreover if the pigeon wants a chicken and leak slice from that pastry place which peculiarly sports a French flag it would set him back a good £1.79, but they are not able to work, what are they meant to do go out on the Edgware road and say “sorry I don’t mean to be rude but could you please spare onepoundseventynine for a chicken and leak slice at that place with the French flag on the sign” given that pigeons have a pretty basic grasp of English I don’t think so. And what if the pigeon is a vegetarian, then what is he to do, especially if he views mozzarella as a flavourless cheese… It saddens me, it truly does. And then some stuff about a man with one of those long spoons… I’m bored does it show?
