This poem is 95% true. The only thing that didn’t happen was that the seagull never actually stole my sandwich. However, I was waving my arms about so much to get it away, that I actually dropped my sandwich into a crevice between two rocks! ‘Twas a tad annoying as I’d bought it at a nearby cafe and was saving it until I reached the very top of my coastal cliff walk!

Anyway, here it is!

Yesterday I took a walk,

along the coast to Durdle Door,

but the coastal paths were very steep,

and the weather, very poor.

I’d planned to have a sarnie,

high above the sands,

but some thievin’ bloody seagull,

nicked me butty out me ‘ands!
