Sea Lion

Sea-Lion I saw a seal in Durban big and sleek and its smile Was wondrous, I think it had green eyes, right, But, I’m not a very god swimmer and is sceptical Of water, mermaids and swimming pools. By chance, I saw a sleek woman cleaning a pool And it was morning, she had green or blue or Perhaps brown eyes of the type lionesses have When a lion, has caught a prey it has to give it Up when hyenas come around. Conquests are a hyena’s fare but it lacks delight And the ability to laugh. The seal from Durban I remember so well, had a hearty laughter and A smile “thousand miles.” Am I getting confused Talking about lions and seals? Not at all but it was A female and she sat my heart aflutter.
