To eat fish and chips
was rather too dull
for a sophisticated
and gourmet seagull.

He had to think hard
but had time to mull
flying to the Midlands
from the port of Hull.
 
The storm subsided
and there was a lull
so an idea entered
the bird's thick skull.
 
There were people
just outside Solihull
holding icecreams
he could easily cull/.

Nothing that would gull me, Luigi.

I don't think anybody can pull the wool over your eyes, Jack.
Thanks for reading, commenting, and for the cherries,

Best, Luigi.

I'm an American, and I must say I've occasionally enjoyed eating fish and chips. It was delicious. That was decades ago.

It is a traditional takeaway English dish, usually bought from shops called 'chippies', which specialise in deep-fried fish and chips. Sometimes, customers add vinegar or tomato sauce to their chips. 

Bon appetit.,Luigi
