Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Shooting the Poop

A seagull’s just messed on my car
poop splattered the windscreen so far
it obscured my view
wet white slimy pooh
that seagull needs the abattoir!

To remove that horrible slurry
I leapt out my car in a hurry
and wiped the poop off
with an old washcloth -
clean windscreen, but seagulls should worry 

To prevent seagulls having fun
I’m fitting a huge machine gun
if one poops on my car
then I’ll shoot from afar
and seagulls will be on the run!

Lindsay Laurie September 1, 2018 at 12:32 AM G'day Jan … seagulls and rock doves. I'm sure when they spot a car they see a target and that's when they really 'spot' it - it seems to end up being a poop convention - thanks Jan - Lindsay Jan Allison September 1, 2018 at 2:39 AM Wish they had nappies for their crappies lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta August 31, 2018 at 4:42 PM One of the many great things about Hawai'i is: NO SEAGULLS! You could easily write another verse about the stench, couldn't you? You certainly have a knack for choosing the perfect illustration for your verses! Bonne chance! Aloha!
