Tour de Farce

A funny thing happened to me on the way from the office to lunch today. A pigeon, which was strutting across the pavement before me and not showing enough respect, was too slow when I skillfully flicked out the right shoe. And so I managed, for the first time in ages, to get my toe right up a pigeon’s arse and register a tiny victory in the war I am waging on unequal terms with the airborne rodents.
