Counties and stuff
When I was young, we used to live in Yorkshire
Except, for some reason, our bit was called the West Riding
I assume there were also North, South and East one’s too
No fun at all, but required, I assume, so as to maintain geographical equality
Some people just seem to have no imagination
If I was in charge of giving things names
I’d have called them things...

Pigeons
10 grey pigeons cooing on the wall
10 grey pigeons cooing on the bloody wall

There’ll only be 9 grey pigeons cooing on the wall
10 grey pigeons still cooing on the wall
5 in the morning, do they ever sleep at all?
10 sodding pigeons still cooing on the wall
It seems the trusty air-rifle actually missed them all
