Rhapsodies

For most of these sketches I’ve been trying to do period, not that I know much about 17th century England, but for ones like today’s rhyme, I Had Two Pigeons Bright and Gay, I just couldn’t. I’m perfectly aware that pigeons are raised in the country but from my own cultural perspective pigeon fancying will alway be an urban thing.

For better or for worse, the first thing I thought of when I read this rhyme was Marlo Stanfield with his pigeons from The Wire.
