TWO SEAGULLS FLYING

Two Seagulls Flying 

 

Two seagulls flying, flew down to the beach

They ate fish and chips from the chippy

Then after that, they tried some ice cream

A choc-ice and some Mr Whippy

They flew down again the very next day

This time they ate Pizza and Pastie

They were too stuffed to fly so they both hitched a ride 

On the roof of a slow passing taxi

All this went on for three weeks or more

Stealing food from the holiday makers

The more that they ate the slower they flew

And they were caught at the door of the bakers

Soon Seagull pie was the talk of St Ives

And the Baker was on to a winner

Folks on day trips, would have cheesy chips

Seagull pie and some peas for their dinner.

 

Seagulls Be Warned!

I'll bear this in mind when I'm in St Ives this summer, Steve!
