Rats with wings

Entry one for journalistic Intentions. Prompt “Oh would you just shut up? You're rats with wings!"


.Rats with wings you’ve been heard to call
The ubiquitous little pigeon.
I think that makes no sense at all.
I’d like to stand for the opposition.

Pigeons have existed for ten thousand years,
Long before cities and towns.
They covered the world, there were no frontiers.
They were free, and knew no bounds.

These mighty birds have been a boon to man.
Flying messengers are they,
Delivering missives throughout the lands,
Dodging storms and birds of prey.

So please don’t call them rats with wings,
They simply take an easy feed.
But have dined with emperors and kings.
So with your premise I’ve disagreed.
