Two pigeons danced on a tar roof,
Happy, serene, but not aloof.
In their dance, the male romances,
While the female flirts with glances.
Down in the park, beside the house,
searching for seeds was a field mouse.
Who, chancing to look up, saw them
And, blushing, turned to eat a stem.
While on an opposite rooftop
A beatnik shutterbug, a fop,
Insensible that he should not,
Lined up another perfect shot
Happy, serene, but not aloof.
In their dance, the male romances,
While the female flirts with glances.
Down in the park, beside the house,
searching for seeds was a field mouse.
Who, chancing to look up, saw them
And, blushing, turned to eat a stem.
While on an opposite rooftop
A beatnik shutterbug, a fop,
Insensible that he should not,
Lined up another perfect shot
