How Many Pigeons can you fit on a TV aerial?

A morning observation from the bedroom window speaks

Are there pigeons on the aerial...YES!

Is there more room on the aerial...NEVER!

How can you pack more pigeons on...they SNEAK!

Sometimes from a distance it looks a bit of a blur

one black mass radiating, no space between, CONCUR!

I'm sure they're waiting for something, there they are again!

I'm sure our neighbour leaves them food, even in the rain

There are pigeons on every continent, one big family mass

Pigeons have a reputation, some believe first class!

Stamps aren't always needed, they fly their messages clear

They're awesome little messengers, press Remote.... then STEER!

They send messages on the grapevine

They leave little messages underfoot

Our pigeons pals are somewhat relentless

Especially the little one, his pigeon name is SOOT!

I love it when our pigeon couples bill and coo, and neck

Usually one flies off abruptly, then chirps "Oh what the heck"!

They sit so eagerly on the garden fence, calling to their love

There's always pigeon patience and some just look ABOVE!

Sometimes there's a pigeon who's dressed in white

Sometimes there's one who's dressed in black lapels

sometimes there's a brown multi coloured one

Sometimes there's one that casts his spells!

Pigeons arrive on the aerials

at the same time every day

On the roof they hustle and bustle

then sing their song and play!

There's a Pigeon Fanciers meeting 

held in Blackpool each and every year

Into the Winter Gardens they gather

Talking pigeon and enjoying a beer!

They talk in bird, so that they can be heard

the pigeons are so fine and fancy

It's an event that you'll never forget

especially when you meet Charlie Clancy!

Fanciers from all over the world travel

at each and every January's end

To show their birds and sell them

Many messages they each will send
