Strolling down old Back Road West

I thought “I know what I’d like best!”

I usually stick to my Ryvita

Today I fancy something sweeter

A smile upon my face did beam

“I’ll treat myself to an ice cream!”

 

Strolling down the sunny Quay

Nothing left to worry me

I slurped my cornet yum yum yum

Until to Smeaton’s Pier I come

Where lined up smiling was a row

of Japanese tourists, sayin’ “Hello!”

 

I smiled and waved my nice ice cream

Then with a squark and with a scream

A greedy seagull pounced on me -

No more my cornet did I see!

Before I knew what’s goin’ on

I found my ice cream was all gone

Into that creature’s greedy beak

I felt a fool, a real freak!

 

And camera shutters went “click click!”

I really felt like a complete dick!

I really was a silly pup

The gull and tourists set me up!!

 

I’ll learn from this sad interlude

I bet I’m staring on youtube

Next time a cone appeals to you

Go hide and eat it in the public loo!

 

 

 

(This video is NOT me being attacked by seagulls!! But it's a nice seagull anyway!)
