PIGEON 
“Some of the other birds 
I may have to release 
As the old Eagle has made me 
The big chief of police. 
“He says keeping order 
Is just a matter of form 
And I won’t have any trouble 
In my new blue uniform. 
“The most I do, anyway, 
Is to stand around, look wise, 
The worst of it all is, 
I lose out on the prize. 
“I’ll have some assistant, 
And one that is right 
Will appoint the Sandpiper 
As they all say he can fight.”
