National Pigeon Day: June 13, 2008!

Just in case you're living under a rock and are therefore not up on the latest events, you should be aware that this Friday, June 13, 2008 is:

NATIONAL PIGEON DAY

No, I'm not joking! This is for reals! Apparently, the Flatbush Pigeon has made such an impression the country is compelled to give her a national holiday. ;-)

BTW, I am registered at Sammy's Pigeon Feed and Supply House as well as with Jose the Pigeon Trainer. (I have to keep up with my flying lessons. As a street scavenger, I never really got the flying thing down all that much.)

Look, we even have an anthem!

National Pigeon Day Anthem

"Cher Ami"lyrics and music by Scott Massarsky (C2008)www.myspace.com/scottmassarskyandthemakeshiftorchestra

I’m coming home

I’m coming home today

I’m on my own

With a message to relay

And though it’s cold

I will make my way

To you

To you

My wings spread out

As I take to flightcause

I was taught

To fly through the night

My secret lies within my feet

And All that’s left of my Cher Ami

Is a note

A note

A note

No do not cry

No not for me

The Shrapnel flies

I would die for my country

Look to the sky

It’s where I’ll always be

You always be

My Cher Ami

So come home

Come home

So come home

Come home

An act of love

An act of chivalry

Where are you now

Oh now my Cher Ami

Please come home
