Sitting down with a bag of deep fried chips,
knowing the fatness and greasy stuff goes to hips,
the beach waves roll from blue to white,
as the sand is blanketed by rippling light,
the birds land nearby smelling an easy meal,
give them a little as good to feel,
throw a chip among the crowd,
they scream excitedly very loud,
seeing a poor one legged gull standing near,
looking sad with hunger and fear,
distract the others by throwing further away,
wondering if the one legged has eaten today,
slipping it a chip to watch it gobble up,
then some more from an almost empty cup,
poor seagull missing a leg,
how would he survive unless to beg,
then as about to leave,
the seagull drops the other leg would you believe,
the little scamming cheating bird,
was smart enough to trick now you have heard.
