The rise of the urban seagull (UK)
timesonline ^ | January 4, 2009

Posted on 01/03/2009 6:27:48 PM PST by JoeProBono

Seagulls are thriving in cities attacking people, deafening residents, damaging buildings, spreading panic and disease. By 2014 there could be as many as 6m of this new urban menace From a distance, the landscape looks like a tranquil slice of rural England. Pudding-shaped hills, green valleys rimmed with autumn-coloured trees. But there is something odd. Maybe half a mile away there is a brilliant white stripe against the slate-grey sky. One moment it is a thin spiral, like a tornado. Then it sinks down, only to billow again like smoke from a volcano.

I believe that is an urban penguin. They’re a lesser menace because they can’t navigate the turnstiles. But once they figure them out, we’re doomed. The subways will be full of them — a thousand pointy beaks right at crotch level.

Over rocks and trees and sand
Soaring over cliffs
And gently floating down to land
She proudly lifts her voice
To sound her mating call
And soon her mate responds by singing
Caw Caw Caw
Come with me

Lesbian Seagull

Settle down and rest with me

Fly with me lesbian seagull

To my little nest by the sea
With me that’s where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you’re with me
She skims the water
At the new time to seek
Her fish and she emerges
With one squirming in her beak

She plays among the waves
And hides between the swells
She walks the beach at twilight

Searching for some shells
Come with me

Lesbian Seagull

Settle down and rest with me

Oh fly with me lesbian seagull

To my little nest by the sea

With me that’s where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you’re — you’re with me

And in the evening
As they watch the setting sun
She loooks at her as if to say
The day is done
It’s time to find their shelter

Hidden in the dunes

And fall asleep the
Music of the moon
You and me

Lesbian seagull

You just watch the world oh my

Just you and me lesbian seagull

Side by side with me ‘till we die
(’Till we die)
You and I
We can make it if we try
Our love will keep us flyin’ high

Until we die...

The Brits are all upset about gulls, maybe they need some alligators to put things in perspective.
