One summer’s day,
they strolled by the sea,
hand holding hand,
Dave and Carole Withany.
The seagulls they circled,
and the sea it did sigh,
an idea did emerge,
as Carole watched them fly by.
She looked up to the heavens,
excited she declared,
give me 50p
and that’s your bird there!
You’ll know Dave’s own seagull,
as it soars on the wing,
with a strong Yorkshire accent,
‘ee by gum’, it will sing.
Now legend still has it,
as myth is passed down,
that Dave’s special seagull,
has been seen in this town.
Now Dave is so happy,
and watches with glee,
for his very own seagull,
that cost 50p

Wonderful !
Aw thank you! 🙂
Its twenty five years since I sold him that bird
but its still arround somewhere thats what Ive heard.
Not a bad price for a bird of his own
just 50pence and he dint need a loan.
He trusted me then to sell him something
that stayed where it was and not take to wing.
Oh well, way back then we were fluffy in love
now he wont part with money till hes looked way above.
Good poem Alex. Dave still reminds me of this and laughs.
Hehe – Glad you like it!!
I like your reply! We will have to set up a partnership!
😀
This poem is sweet, like a taste of honey!
Thank you Resa! As long as it’s not seagull flavoured 🙂
Ew!
Love your humour 🙂
Thank you Polly! I have good friends that inspire me 😉

Ha ha, very good Alex! I want my own seagull now 🙂
Ah if you give my friend Carole 50p I’m sure she will oblige in pointing out your seagull!! If you ask her nicely you may even get three for £1
