trochaic haiku

freshly trimmed beard
snags on scarf of Scottish wool
velcro's out the cold

pigeon foot

In Edinburgh, I often see,
a Pigeon with a twisted foot.
Is it birth defect or injury?
Or maybe hereditary,
each sighting a different squab
of a long-lived clan
of Edinburghian club-footed pigeon.
