#5 Per Daily Mail:

"Past honorees include E. B. White (1970), Beverly Cleary (1975), Maurice Sendak (1983) and perhaps the most famous children's writer of all, Theodor S. Geisel (1980).

Geisel, better know as Dr. Seuss, is now under investigation himself by the group's task force, along with British bookseller John Newbery, illustrator Randolph Caldecott, businessman Robert Sibert, Mildred Batchelder, and author May Hill Arbuthnot."

Like #3 said.

#6 Your stereotypical pigeon
Enforces his ancient religion
Of pecking and preening.
Veracity, meaning,
And vision require his permission.

#7 No platform for haters of pigeons!
No statues or history or kitchens!
No confident voicin'
Opinions, nor poison,
Nor songbirds' or raptors' religions!
