David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Bad Tippers

When keepers feed dolphins with flippers,
and see the numbers that come back on receipts,
they find that dolphins aren't very good tippers,
but don't fuss lest they become human treats.

Alison A Smith nee Howarth July 16, 2026 at 12:56 AM Well dolphins have a shortage of pockets so tipping is not an option. They do clown around and make you laugh. That's better than a tip any day. David Crandall July 16, 2026 at 10:45 AM Haha, I'm holding you responsible for my poem "Dolphins Have No Pockets" - :-)) David Crandall July 16, 2026 at 10:06 AM Haha, that's true - dolphins don't have pockets - that's something that I think should be explored - and I agree, the humans are getting the better end of the deal.
