Fauna of New Yawk

A bunch of birds were pecking On some pizza they had found, Which someone had abandoned And discarded on the ground. A few blocks later was a mouse Which scurried to and fro, Apparently in search of Someplace warm where it could go. I also saw some squirrels Perched upon a river rail, Where a guy was tossing breadcrumbs, Like each morning, without fail. If you add in all the pigeons And the squirrels that I pass, Plus the dogs who do their business On the sidewalks and the grass You will have a clearer picture Of the fauna of New Yawk And their noises, from near silence To a chirp, a bark or squawk.
