A Gal Named Sinitta

There was an old seagull named Freddie Who had loved his companion called Betty But sadly one day the love of his life Died - eating a bowl of spaghetti So Freddie he searched for a new gal As they flaunted themselves on the prom One particular gal stood out from the rest She had style She had beauty She had such aplomb Her name he discovered was Sinitta And Freddie so wanted to meet her But he was much older Young males were much bolder Old Freddie retreated As his energy depleted So towards Beachy Head Freddie flew there instead He was sad He was lonely He had lost his true love He wanted to fly where birds go when they die And perched on the lighthouse staring up to the sky He saw Betty gaze down With a twinkle in her eye, she said Fly off to meet her This gal named Sinitta She will fall for your kindness and charm For she came from above and is looking for love And I know you will keep her from harm So Freddie soared back unafraid With hope in his heart that he could persuade This beautiful sea gal to share his life To bear his children and become his wife For seagulls can live to be thirty five Although Freddie was just twenty three And Sinitta was many years younger than him But she was the one It was meant to be When Freddie arrived she was no longer there And dismayed Freddie fell into deepest despair But as he flew closer to the Golden Pier Was that her calling he could hear Sinitta was perched watching over the crowds With the sun glistening down from above As Freddie emerged from out of the clouds She knew in an instant that this was true love They were happy gulls together But sadly nothing lasts forever When mindless morons carried out the most odious of crimes As reported in the press We live in very violent times But not before they pecked those morons till they bled to death Did Freddie and Sinitta finally take their final breath 14th October 2018 Sponsor: Dear Heart a.k.a.
