Pigeon Penelope

Imani Coppola

A trip today,

about seventeen times.

I was walking down the street,

saying Keep in line, keep in line

I wandered for about 17 feet.

Found my destination,

it was right across the street.

The park was nice,

the bums were chilling.

I dime for advice,

that was you.

I was willing,

to hear a chill bum having something to say.

Besides, here's a cup,

give me money while I lay.

Perched up in a tree,

spread your wings,

and then chose me.

You see.

'Cos I was feeling fine.

Pigeon Penelope,

eventually you will leave me alone.

It's just a matter of time.

Eyed the bird,

then my friend appeared.

He said:

Imani how you feeling? 'Cos you acting kinda weird.

Mind went blank,

I couldn't explain.

Came up with something fast,

to prove that I was sane.

It's that thing above me, not you sir, don't worry.

A bit disturbed,

left in a hurry.

Hand shake,

kiss on the cheek.

You need some time, I'll see you in a week.

Perched up in a tree,

spread your wings,

and then chose me.

You see,

that I was feeling fine.

Pigeon Penelope,

eventually you will leave me alone.

It's just a matter of time.

Down came your little package.

Knocked me right off my feet.

If I could I swear I'd kill you.

Sugar cube's sure taste sweet,

with a pigeon.

Perched up in a tree,

spread your wings,

and then chose me.

You see,

that I was feeling fine.

Pigeon Penelope,

eventually you will leave me alone.

It's just a matter of time.
