Why do seagulls scream so much?
while circling out at sea?
What gripped the earth so much?
to compel them all to flee?
Adrift, I did what the ‘experts’ said,
by sending up a flare.
But I still needed a harbour in my head,
so I sent up a prayer.
Then I shot that flipping albatross -
'Luck' had nothing to do with it!
