The noise of the seashore. Screaming summertime children, drown out their decibels. Those thieving flaming seagulls. Still they hover over seaside dives. Humming, squawking on the rob. Fearless pirates steal from the unwary. Not mysterious albatross or any sailor boys These birds,they are true ancient mariners. Sail not upon the sea, but bathe in harbour lights. Flying on the warming drift. Carried on sunshine. Immense, scary birds. Just to pinch a pasty. Cornering a cornet, the eater hath no place to hide. Tussled and tangled in flowing summer hair. They want your pasty, you are their victims andΒ Β they really do not care. Fearless Herring gulls, not just after shining fish! (C) Livvi
