Bossy Pigeons

I'm feeding the birds it's a serious job
seeds, nuts and a fat ball blob
Not forgetting water to drink 
all on a table for a range of feathered friends I think

That's what I'd like to see
a variety of birds coming round for tea
But all I seem to get
is big bossy pigeons leaving the others a bit upset

I know pigeons are birds and have a rightful place
but they scoff all the food as if it's a race
My poor little blackbird didn't get a look in
pushed off the table his head all a spin

It's not right, I wish I could have words
I wonder if I've got the power to talk to the birds
I'd say 'oi you big bossy pidgies' 
'help yourself but leave some for the other kiddies'

We wouldn't like someone keeping us from our food
if I ain't got my cake I feel totally nude
I'd give a pigeon a run for their cash
peck their feathered bottoms then make a quick dash

Justice for the small birds!! I feel a placard on the way
a list of rules they must obey
My dad has a barrier around his table ya know
The pigeons are not gone but they are forced down below

I tried that on mine but before it fell off
the pigeons developed special powers, got beyond and continued to scoff
 Maybe I should open my table, welcome all to the food
A lesson we should learn - everyone welcome, and with that I conclude
