Poetry In Adelaide’s Hurtle Square

Who said that there was no poetry in Adelaide? To prove them wrong I searched high and low until I found a beautiful piece of poetry right in Hurtle Square. Of all places it was placed on a pigeon drinking fountain.

Yeah, I know that it’s a little hard to see, so let me recite it for you.

Address To The Pigeons In Hurtle Square

The pigeons in the square
Are pert and debonair.
Plumped out with scattered scraps.
They cease to fear mishaps, Accost me as I walk,
With wheedling salesman’s talk.
And when I don’t provide
They jostle me aside.
Security we know
Is mortals chiefest foe,
And Shakespeare’s warning words
Embrace both men and birds.
They end who this defy
Cat’s lunch or pigeon pie.
So fly, bludging crew,
And don’t shit on my shoe.

Not bad huh, we Aussies can display the word shit in public.

Make my day and shout me a beer.
