Cachinnating Gulls on the Chabble

Today is the letter C in the AtoZ Challenge.  So here we go!  I'm doing a watercolor and a poem a day (except for Sundays, when I may be posting something else... or not).

Cachinnating Gulls on the Chabble

 

Laughing gulls gathered for tea –

a spot of fish and clam debris –

afloat on chabble of the sea.

one skreeched a joke and laughed "hee-hee"

and thus began the raucous spree –

a cachinnation jubilee –

that lasted until half past three.

And though I screamed, "Just let it be!",

they felt no guilt at bothering me.
