There are 2 pigeons in a pub …

No, you have never heard of this one. This is not a joke with a punch line. Or maybe it does have a punch line.

While waiting for my train, like I did almost every day, I chose not to scroll my cellphone, like most people. Instead, I looked and observed. I am a person, an observer of people, and apparently a pigeon observer.

This is spring, and Merpati is in the platform parade at the train station. This is like the night of a boy with too much alcohol. I listened to pigeons, disturbed by a short loudspeaker announcement about the arrival of the train and cancellation. I like pigeons, entertained when I watch them. Careless pieces of food dropped by passengers do not have high priority at this time. This is the mating season.

The sun shines, and this is their chance. This is like the last call for drinks in a busy pub. The sound of pigeons almost deafening. Like music blare and excessive conversation in the pub. Male pigeons with blue crates and their brown feet are roaming for their chance to find a couple … before the pub is closed?

They reminded me of a man in a blue suits and brown shoes in a busy pub on Friday night, looking for a last minute date before the last call for drinks. At this point in the wedding season, every woman will do it. If rejected, then you will do it. I remember how it felt on Friday night. Often played again on Saturday night but rarely on Sundays, when Monday starts on Sunday work again.

I saw the passengers waiting on the opposite platform, heading towards the opposite. All with your head down. I think I am the only human being in Pub Pigeon. I was invited to stay overnight … until my train arrived.

Soon, the mating season will end. The night will be longer, darker and cooler. Pigeons on the platform will then only be interested in the food dropped by the passenger. But the men in Pub on Friday night will still be interested in marriage. Only now they will wear a thick coat and wool hat on their blue settings and brown shoes. Or decide to stay at home on Friday night, where no clothes are needed, and have several beer at home.

Funny how there is a mating season for pigeons but not for men. “Hey, what are you doing tonight? Can I buy you a drink? No? Well, how about your friends?”

Coooooo!
