Homing pigeons, popular pastime pet.
The Porter’s* had pigeons.
Reserve St move, we start the hobby,
Breeding homers.
Epic fail.
Talking up our “aviary” at the new school.
Perhaps to impress,
At least seeking acceptance.
“Dropping by” – easy – en route to pool
Big talk easily unveiled.
Embarrassment.
Lesson: Lessen expectation.
Note:
* The Porter’s were at No. 2 Guildford Rd. Gary Porter was our friend. That’s him sitting on the grass at the right of this photo, and that his dog with the black eye – I can’t remember his name.
