What it is to you they do?
How they use their chemistry
Stop you landing in a tree
Would you fly from city street?
Coo alarm and beat retreat?
Humans are your secret foes
Dissolving your claws and toes
All you do is eat the waste
Tossed by the careless in haste
And in return white stars you leave
Bringing luck when on a sleeve
Pigeon if you only knew
What it is to you they do!
