His wings stretch far,
Skimming the sun’s rays
As he searches for prey.
Majestically he glides
On currents of warm air,
While those far below
Are transfixed by his stare.
Suddenly, he spots his prey.
Down, down he swoops,
Frighteningly fast,
Lest it make its escape.
It never had a chance
Against a bird of such power.
His food is swallowed whole
In a flurry of feathers and claws.
All beware the hunter of the air.
“Oi! That’s my chip!
Get lost you stupid gull!”
