A Trip to the Tip

Today was a trip-to-the-tip day,
a dump-your-junk-in-the-skip day,
with rips and chips and broken zips.
Today was a trip-to-the-tip day.

Today was a gulls-on-patrol day,
a watch-how-the-humans-roll day,
with poles and goals and rigmaroles.
Today was a gulls-on-patrol day.

Tomorrow will be a calm day,
a free-of-alarm-full-of-charm day,
when gulls can come or gulls can go:
an at-home-in-an-armchair calm day.

It was actually several tubs of garden refuse that we took to the tip, but I'm exercising a modicum of poetic licence! ;-) Couldn't resist a little play on Photoshop.
