Lake Kingdom

a noisy flight of white gulls
strut across the lake`s surface
top of the pecking order
they think it`s their purpose!

peace reins in the sunshine, until
a sudden noise, sets them to flight
squawking as they take to the air
white wings flapping, what a sight!

wings stretched out; heads held high
while screeching at everything
as all the snooty ducks swim by
thinking each one is the king

 this is their own Lake Kingdom
where they can all come and go
ducks, coots and very cheeky gulls
add to the increasing crescendo
