Hard to believe that the seagulls inland are lost.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  How an earth did they end up dozens of miles from the coast?                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Don't they know Blackpool is an hour away by car?                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Give the seagulls a lift or lend them your Tom Tom sat nav.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I saw a huge white gull looking for the ocean.                                                                                                                                                                                                         This way and that the poor bird flew.                                                                                                                      

I pointed west and where I thought Blackpool was.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The seagull knew I was wrong and dive bombed me.                                                                                                       

A big blob of bird shit spattered my black boots!                                                                                                          

I raised my fist in anger and he (or she) tried to peck my bloody eyes out!                                                              

I leave it to God to direct lost seagulls!
