The Gull and the Ball
In the park, a herring gull
Found a purple plastic ball.
Pecked at it,
Picked it up in its beak,
Dropped it,
Pecked at it some more.
Poole Park in Early Spring
Mid February. A sunny Sunday afternoon.
The first warm day of the year.
The people of Poole head to the Park,
Eager to take the air.
