Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose (Saboux)

Saboux wasn’t just a regular pigeon-

For he liked to get his daily tasks done.

.

He would first open up his eyes-

To see what was going on, to see if there was a surprise.

.

For where he lived there were several folks walking around-

And in the mornings, he didn’t know which ones would first be found.

.

The first thing that he would do is to jump off of his stick-

To land at the bottom of his cage, which was an easy trick.

.

And then he would head on over to his water bowl-

That would be freshly changed daily, and was always cold.

.

His food bowl was next in line-

Filled with treats, he would always find.

.

And then he would flutter his wings-

This was one of Saboux’s favorite things.

.

And then he would jump back up on his stick to wait-

For every morning, he would have a special date.

.

With his human Mother that would always get him out-

To love and hold him, for a long time, without a doubt.

.

He then got to run around for quite a while-

He would strut in the kitchen, in grand style.

.

And if his human Mother was at the computer, it was always a treat-

For he would walk on over to her, and fly, to land on her feet.

.

And then she would pick him up, once again-

With more time, together, for them to spend.

.

A good head rub and a body one too-

Everything was going well and usual, as far as Saboux could tell.

.

Saboux wasn’t just a regular pigeon-

For he liked to get his daily tasks done.
