The wind howled bleakly through the trees
And cast a nest out on the breeze
The pigeon pair fell to the ground
And lay there looking all around
A sparrowhawk that flew on high
Espied them with his beady eye
With folded wings and beak to prey
He swooped like lightning as they lay
About to snatch with outstretched claws
A sudden movement gave him pause
A cat beneath the hedge did lie
Awaiting dinner from the sky
But none of them would eat today
Behind the cat a snake did sway
Observing all the goings on
I shrieked and 'poof!' they all moved on.
