Seagull

I’d soar from cliffs and cross the sea, I’d dive or hover, screech and swoop, And seeing tourists under me, I’d take good aim and drop some poop. (Every seagull’s favourite pastime!) For If I was Animal What Would I Be? By Jack Horne

Jack, what do you suppose we'd have if my eagle and your seagull got together and created offspring? There's be some mighty big poop dumped on the land of liberty. LOL Thanks for your comment. I actually would rank your poem higher; you know how I love humor. Love, Carolyn

I recently was at the Niagara Falls and plentiful of seagulls. You are right the pooh is the most dangerous of seagulls. Jack

Hah! I'd like to be a bird too...but for different reasons. Too funny, Jack. That old footle wasn't written about anyone in particular. Please check my blog and let me know if you think I worded it too strongly. I appreciate your opinion. Love, Carolyn
