HOW YOU LIKE A PIGEON OR NOT
HOW YOU ARELIKE A PIGEON OR NOT is an original digital 8X6 signed print on paper. It appropriates part of an actual page from a 1930s textbook called âElementary Science By Grade.â This is from Book One. In it, Bobby learns about himself in relation to pigeons. He can walk. Pigeons walk, too. He eats. Pigeons eat. He drinks. They drink. Pigeons fly. Bobby can not fly. WHAT! Bummer. Bobby will need therapy.
Activities are suggested for Bobby, but he probably shouldnât snag a pigeon. Maybe in simpler times it might have been okay. Innocence and all that. But these are many-layered and many-lawyered times. To start with, the pigeon is probably banded. He will never get it past the metal detector. Non-therapy animals arenât allowed in school. Some believe the pigeon is a She Devil. Then thereâs PETA, NPA, ASPCA, federal laws, state laws, city laws, Board of Ed rules and other modern encumbrances. Cheer up Bobby. All is not lost. You CAN say coo coo, as pigeons do. COO COO. Say it. Be a pigeon! But, ask yourself, do you really want to be a pigeon? There is truth in the adage that sometimes you are the statue and sometimes the pigeon. An apt idea for our current world. Except it's my turn to be the pigeon.
