Poisoning Pigeons in the Park

I'd like to take you now on wings of song, as it were, and try and help
you forget perhaps for a while your drab, wretched lives. Here's a song
all about spring-time in general, and in particular, about one of the
many delightful pastimes the coming of spring affords us all.

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don't you? 'Course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes ev'ry Sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Ev'ry Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Ev'rything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

Lalaalaalalaladoodiedieedoodoodoo

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them{ all }amid laughter and merriment.
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strychnine
We feed to a pigeon.
It just takes a smidgen!
To poison a pigeon in the park.

I am not sure but makers of prean and scott's turf stuff seem to be
spending more on advertising this spring. Scott's goes so far as to say
if you do not use their product you are not a good neighbor. Prean says
if you do not use their product you will spend your free garden time
weeding and not having the neighbors over for barbecue.

Works with me )))

Just a double smidgen to poison a fetus, eh?


Actually, for fetuses and small children, a quarter smidgen is often
enough (
