The Consequence

The old man, leaning over a bridge’s railing,
spat, the idea was to try, hit the bald head
of a man sitting in his rowing-boat, fishing
mackerel and red snappers.

A silly prank, yes indeed, the old one only
did this because he remembered doing that
when a boy, sitting on top of a tree, spitting
down at passers by.

Unbelievable, the spittle landed on the bald
head, as the angler looked up a seagull flew
across his view; baldy grabbed his rifle took
aim and shot the seabird dead
