The Seagulls are Feasting

The seagulls are feasting 
On crab for breakfast 
With a prime ocean view
At their side 
As a sleek silver bird
Motors into the bay,
Its wings flashing 
White lights and red;
It descends,
Sending ripples
To the grizzled gull 
In the shallows
By the crystalline shore;
Hungry passengers emerge
To enquire where the locals 
Like to nibble and nosh
On hash browns with ketchup
That they tear from the packets
With their pearly whites
