Poetry for setting fire to Seagulls

It is nice to set fire to a seagull

Or a robin or a crow or a huge scary eagle

Although some will say this should not be done

But even they will concede it is rather fun

And if folk say it’s a terrible thing to do

Just point out they throw chickens on their barbecue

You see us humans are a hypocritical lot

And most other lifeforms

Think we have just lost the plot

But there is nothing worse than being by the sea

When seagulls pinch your fish and a chip or two maybe

And such an event is surely bound

To invoke a sense of revenge as something you desire

So it is perfectly natural to set the seagull on fire

OK burning a robin or crow

Might be considered petty arson

But the burning of Eagles is best left

For the local vicar or parson

With the fire brigade close at hand

And a confused and bewildered ornithological society

Who are slightly grumpy?

And just

Don’t

Understand
