Looking out to sea and see the sea
what a complicated thing it is…
but he doesn’t think too much
in fact, he’s rather thick
but he’s only doing his job.
He’s pretty handy
he’s slow at somethings
but in other ways he’s quick!

Nicely done, Chris! Among other things, I like that sneaky “thick” and “quick” rhyme. 🙂 Also, your poem gave me thoughts of Joni Mitchell’s long-ago tune “Song to a Seagull.”

More than clever, Chris. I get the gist for all of those things – and also that poor (maybe) fly?!
Gorgeous writing.

Good poem, Chris.
I once saw a gull swoop down on a holiday maker in Ullapool, who was enjpying a black pudding supper, and make off with the entire black pudding!
They’re fearless.

Oh my – got away with the lot, and including all of the black pudding!
Yum, by the way, if it was still available. Similar, but not the same here in SA.
