Noises Overhead

As I lay quietly in bed There was an odd noise overhead It was the most peculiar sound Like somebody stomping around Inside our loft? dancing about What was it, was it in or out?

Would there be any kind of proof It was on or under our roof? I wondered how I’d get to see The culprit, maybe climb a tree? From the garden path was a view That gave us much more of a clue

Yes, the noises that I had heard Were being made by several birds Lots of pigeons moving and who Were also making loud coo-coo Under our panels was the best Place they had found to make their nest
