And, never missing a chance to plug my favorite animal song, from "I'm
Sorry I'll Read That Again", it's

Persecuting Pigeons in Trafalgar Square

Oh, whenever I feel glum, I collect a bag of crumbs
And on Sunday I go out to take the air
With a crust of mother's pride and a pinch of cyanide
Persecuting pigeons in Trafalgar Square
In the early morning rush, with my bottle and my brush
Coating Nelson's Column with great care
With some stuff that looks like paint, but I promise you, it ain't
I'm persecuting pigeons in Trafalgar Square
Oh, I can't agree with crucifying crickets
And I wouldn't wish a wombat any harm
And I'd never flagellate a defenseless alligatah
And I'd seldom irritate an armadillo

But on Sunday after tea, just my grandmama and me
How we love it and the people all declare
Though she's nearly ninety-one, she still gets a lot of fun
>From persecuting pigeons in Trafalgar Square

Promenading in St. James I play lots of little games
Any dark and stormy night you'll see me there
When I'm digging up the weeds and planting hemlock seeds
For persecuting pigeons from Trafalagar Square
Oh it's naughty I agree but, I inoculate a peanut
With a powder that would paralyze a bear
So a bird that takes the bait'll find it absolutely fatal
Persecuting pigeons in Trafalgar Square
Oh, I don't approve of mutilating muskrats
It's appalling when impalas are impaled
And I'm never much elated when a bat is being baited
And I've never castigated whales
(or Scotland)

I have built a little brush like a little model thrush (?)
And before each bird alights it says a prayer
'cause where the altar should have been I have fixed a guillotine
For persecuting pigeons in Trafalgar Square
Persecuting pigeons in Trafalgar Square
(Why don't we all go down to Trafalgar Square...)
