Anti-Ode to a Seagull

 In contrast to the cute squirrels I wrote an Ode to last week Edinburgh is plagued by Sea Gulls who make a llot of noise and scavenge amongst the bins. Mind you if the council got it's act together and made bin collections more regularly the problem wouldn't be as great as it is. Anyway here is an Anti-Ode to a seagull

                                      

                                     Anti-Ode to a Seagull

                            Stomping on the roofs

                                    With your great big hooves

                                    What a noise you make

                                    It is more than I can take

 

                                    Rummaging around the bags

                                    Looking out for scrags

                                    Why not let us be

                                    And return back to the sea. 

And here is not such a pretty picture 

Hope this gave you a laugh anyway. Wonder if I have invented a new genre of poetry 

Ode to a Squirrel

During lockdown I have been working from home. However from my living room window there are some trees close by  I often see squirrel's running about and I was inspired to write this little ode which I hope brightens your day 

                                                    Ode to a squirrel 

                                            Little squirrel running around 

                                            In the trees above the ground

                                            What a pleasant sight to see 

                                            You bring such delight to me.

                                            O what fun it must be 

                                             Running around so gay and free

                                              Sometimes with a friend or two

                                             Now the trees belong to you 

And here is a pretty picture 

Take care soon this nightmare will be over
