I went of to my writing group and homeless attend some times. after I was paid my poem I cut through the beautful park and one of tree shaped like an umbrella. Coming back I was short of time so I thought I will go back through the park and sit in the cafe sun shining, so decided
sit outside I had ordered scrambled eggs! on soft toast and baked beans and mug of tea everything
going well. I had collected my knives and forks
and a serviette lovely lovely tomato sauce. There
up on .I pulled out The Big Issue to read my Poem
"Summer" was in there and it's on the Abctales not doing well. I did smile (;-
as I read it and eaten everything bar long crust cut of as age! wobbly and gap tooth. Lo! and behold! a seagull on the ground shoosh shoosh! I said "go away" but a cheeky crow came and sat on
on the table maybe I should given the title
"Stone a Crow".
The Seagull's multiplied 2 plus 2 more and 2 more. I was finishing tea got up to go!
The Seagulls all in the middle of the plate tossing this piece of crust in their beaks one to the other. I'd cut of about 4 inches long but they moved right into the middle?
the noise of jealousy who could have crust 1st, but there feet were standing on the knives and forks were shaking and chattering! away.
People watching as I stood backing away. Young waitress came out and I just mentioned Seagulls
she was smiling away.Then I made my way home. This is 2nd time attacked if they are nesting this time of year once near my group noise crying!
screaming! as I had crossed over for once. One Seagull was Dive Bombing at me I went to dash round the corner but back it came round my shoulders I'm only 5ft 4" approx;I ducked! but large wing span slapped me round the ears as one has with age hearing aid I went deaf more?
and had to have it checked out my picture in "Argus" but they left out poem and put maybe the seagull didn't like poem! The Seagull's nested on roof I ran over road couple they looked in oblivion no help!

O my, you brought back some memories, my dad used to say being pooped on was lucky; lucky for whom,I wondered :-)
Seagulls can be very terrotorial and vicious, sad that the couple looked away....atb Lena

Gosh, Julie ... sounds a bit creepy. Even more so, I think, than as told by Alfred Hitchcock? I wonder...did you ever see 'The Birds'? Those were the days, eh?"

Hello Julie.
Caught up with this one as you suggested.
Great fun reading your tale, and I like the title.
But I have to say again.
I really enjoy your replies to all of above who offered reviews on your work.
I have a good laugh reading them.
"...large as a pelican without the bigbill..."
"...slapped me round the ears..." etc etc.
Kind regards.
