Dark Water Swimmer

Dark water swimmer If I were a deep-sea diver, I would swim to the Azores were the water is not so cold; meet up with dolphins that remembered me from my time on ships when waving to them from the deck They would feed me sardines since I’m too slow to catch anyone alone When I meet a tiger shark, I will bow my head, show respect and call him my lordship; messages will be sent “Don’t touch this man, as he is not a seal.” I will go ashore in Madeira, get drunk in a bar and when they arrest and try to deport me, I will tell them the sea is my home, and they will take me on a helicopter and push me back to my forever home This will be witnessed by all creatures of the ocean, who will say: “Now look, there swims a hero.”
