A much admired Senator, Ned,
Took the floor yesterday and then said,
That all will agree,
Those birds from the sea,
Have all decent folk seeing red.

Everything. As It Happens.

No mention of Garth. Reputation intact.
This overpaid Senator Ned
Worried his silly head
About gulls stealing lollies
From children and wallies
Who are most likely overfed.
Ned said
Dem birds be’s wreckin me bleedin head
No he did not.
He is from Cork.
Squawk!
Caw caw caw,
caw caw,
caw caw caw caw caw,
caw cawww.
I got divebombed several times by a seagull while walking through the IMMA courtyard yesterday. When I looked around afterwards I realised that I had passed by a confused young seagull who didn’t know enough to fly away and just stood there squawking for mama (teenagers, don’t you know). The mama seagull was of course just protecting its fledgling. I watched for a while as other unsuspecting victims ventured too near the little guy and got warned off. Minutes and minutes of wholesome fun.
Who’ll step up in this hour of need?
A knight on a shining white steed?
For seagulls to ban
And the loud ice cream van
For which our brave senators plead!
In the Seanad’s dark underground bunker
Where our finest and brightest may hunker
Aware of great peril
from birds that are feral
Their latest plan is quite a clunker
If that’s got us all seeing red
The next one will melt your poor head
It’s the guinness can widgets
and trolls (under bridges)
And the bogey man under the bed.
