It is the fault of our rhetoric that we cannot strongly state one fact without seeming to belie some other.


Here is a rebel gang of seagulls who routinely hang out on Elizabeth Street, just outside of Town Hall. I call the the Town Hall Mafia.

Here's a poem:

Humdrum
You
have had

nature

explained to
You

and

You
are bored

with it.

I agree with the poem!

I wonder which one of these seagulls is Jonathan Livingstone???
Jackie said…
I wonder what they're talking about. Maybe plotting which particular car(s) to crap on, or which unsuspecting local with a bag of chips to raid.
seagulls are always up to something....

Colette, only if you count children’s book. I limit it to just three on the go, but only one fiction book at a time though.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, I see these fellows every morning. It’s their hangout.
Kris McCracken said…
Babzy, thanks! Credit to the models.

Priyanka, Jonathan was a fraud. A pigeon in drag.
Kris McCracken said…
Jackie, I think that they are talking about the G-20.
Kris McCracken said…
Mouse (aka kimy), correct!
KL said…
And they also happen to like cricket much, especially the Aussie Seagulls :-D.

KL, they love cricket, the gulls down here. Mad for it.
