Seagulls are full of shit<\/p>\n
But they are very intelligent creatures<\/p>\n
Recently whilst in Bath I watched as a seagull<\/p>\n
Devoured the remains of an unlucky pigeon<\/p>\n
But as it ate it dragged the carcass nearer<\/p>\n
To the kerb as it was aware of the hazards<\/p>\n
That the city traffic had in store<\/p>\n
I admired that seagull as I felt a kinship<\/p>\n
This seagull was full of shit<\/p>\n
As I am I suppose but that is another question<\/p>\n
Later that day I returned to where the seagull had been<\/p>\n
And left it a handwritten note on an indigo sheet<\/p>\n
It was about the fruit trees in South East England<\/p>\n
I asked the seagull about the final stages of these fruit trees<\/p>\n
Before the darker months overwhelmed the year<\/p>\n
The fruit is obviously the final stage of a lengthy process<\/p>\n
A great deal of work had gone into the fruit<\/p>\n
Before I had harvested it on my fathers farm<\/p>\n
I asked for its thoughts on the subject<\/p>\n
Two days later I received a lavender letter<\/p>\n
Asking me if I had ever held hands in public<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
