Love your poem. It is hilarious and makes my day. It would be awesome if pigeons would do this all the time,it would help the police catch criminals.

Goodness, that is one creepy picture. Hahaha. It looks like an insane cat swallowing a rabid rat amongst other things. I think I'll go crazier if I continue to stare at it. This cracked me up. Love all the clever references. "Stool" pigeon, bird "duty"... Tooo funny. This would win a funny animal contest. Well, if you could find an intelligent voting block. :) mikey

    Hey, you're winning multi-contests. Don't insult your groupies. :-) That splotch on the car does look like a psyche tool for interpretation.

Hello Spitfire, Very good, very cute, especially ...

marks criminal's car

(The bird must do his duty ...

And not just to the criminal's car, but my car as I was slowly inching it out of my garage. Talk about precision, those nasty birds "dutied" my car in about one second - lol.)

A fun poem. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Ha! just looking at the title, I knew this one would be funny. I love the irony of the stool pigeon pooping on the criminal's car. It was his duty! 8-)

A birdelicious duty well done! Pigeons deserve more credit than they get. They were used up to World War 1 as carriers of messages. Love the last line. Awesome closer. Les

Stool pigeon uses pigeon stool to mark the car. LOL! Love it. Did you notice the white poop in the picture looks like an evil face? Creepy.

    I thought that too, Phyllis. So far, you're the only one to mention it.

Haha, that's funny. You did a great job and I think you should do a poem about a bird actually pooping on someone. Great job friend

Hah! Your senryu is in good form with strong descriptors and an excellent satori. Your words poke fun in a harmless way which is the hallmark of true senryu. Nicely done. rj

This is funny, especially if the car truly belongs to a deserving soul. Pigeons and seagulls aren't selective. I been blessed by their donations more than once. lol
