Gullability for Michael

[Poeticpiers]

Gullability.

Screaming seagulls swoop and soar above the waves that roll ashore.
They shriek and squabble as they find the titbits which it leaves behind.
Rapacious feathered buccaneers in piracy they have few peers.

These masters of the air and sea are masters too at thievery.
They will ferociously defend their pickings to the bitter end
the tasty morsels that they seize: They have no friends just enemies.

Though I can readily forgive the way in which they choose to live.
The pleasure that the give to me when they are flying gracefully,
more than adequately repays my disgust at the thieving ways

These masters of the sea and air displaying skills beyond compare.
When in full flight they carelessly just skim the surface of the sea.
There is no sight I’d rather see than flocks of seagulls flying free.

Thanks Mac as I type seagulls are swooping and calling outside my window 20 miles from the sea. They find easier pickings on the landfill sites for garbagr

I guess we all learn to adapt to changing circumstances.

beautiful flying rats
look at them go
their only competition
is the black crow
