Man outside a cafe in Bath, having breakfast. Gets up to shoo seagulls away. Leaves his table for just the half-second required for another seagull to steal his croissant. Man chases the croissant thief; another seagull steals his toast.
Raucous laughter from all the gulls.
Aliens observing Earth approach gulls: "Take us to your leader!"
Gulls rob aliens of everything that might be edible.
Earth is destroyed in first interstellar war.
It's the only way they learn. You gotta hunch over that pastry hissing, like it's the chosen babe and you are the goblin king stealing it down to the underworld.
Similar on Saturday but the seaside
guy gets up to chase gulls from fish supper
One gull lunges to seize chip, ends up pushing fish supper off quay into sea
Bus queue laughs
Why would you get up to shoo the seagulls away? These birds are absolutely using humansβ entitlement, thinking we deserve to take up all the space and leave nothing for other creatures, against us.
If Iβm surrounded by a gang of gulls, I share my food. Theyβre running a protection racket.
the sign says
please
do not feed the seagulls
as IT encourages them
and on the table
they will stand
cock-a-beak,
with a one eye stare,
that hungry
empty stomach
demanding
desperate
stare,
at that fish on your plate
that was its natural fare,
and as you feed,
its table
its plate
the sea,
lies bare
