Doesn't Phoebe have a song about pigeons?

Didn't drive to Boston today because my driver's side rear tire was "flat as a doornail" according to my mother's frenzied simile, and has been that way for Lord knows how long.

So Mumsy and I trekked into Boston in her monstrous, unparkable vehicle, didn't get lost, hit a pigeon somewhere in Concord and just now realized that the poor bird's carcass is still wedged in grille.

I'm really just at a loss here, a horrifying mix of pity and revulsion and sick amusement (not at the death of the bird, but at how abysmally this situation is being dealt with).

For Pete's sake.
