"They Call Him FLIPPER,  FLIPPER FASTER THAN LIGHTENING

NO ONE YOU SEE IS SMARTER  THAN HE  AND WE KNOW FLIPPER LIVES IN A WORLD FULL OF WONDER, FLYING THERE-UNDER, UNDER THE SEA, EVERYONE LOVES THE KING OF THE SEA

DOLPHINS

Florida side of the Atlantic jumping up and down Aquatic mammals

Lipotidae nicked named Baiji the Chinese  river dolphin

In all there are about forty types of Delphinidae 

Paraphyletic's, personable, friendly and loving

Pods of bulls and pods of cows swimming collectively

Even helping injured or ill individuals, humans 

Reaching out standing in the water walking, shouts...


Vocalizations out there blow holes
Laughing, singing, whistles clicks and burst pulsed sounds
Echolocated clicks amongst the loudest  around;
If they had legs instead of fins they'd walk on ground;

Having a layer of fat, or blubber, under the skin to keep warm in cold water;
It's a wonder Adam even came up with the name dolphin;
Now only God knows what their porpoises is;
Dolphins eats consists of bait ball fish and quid;

Just like humans come in many colors;
Some dolphins are, black N white, tannish, blue or gray;
But did you noticed the beginning of my poem;
Is starting out ACROSTIC and bet you didn't notice...
The seven lines  first letters begins with the name;
Of the greatest porpoise, I mean dolphin;
How often, lost in caring,  sparklin,  savin;
They Called Him "FLIPPER"

Brother James, you and I know that our 'porpoise' in life is to proclaim Christ to others. I am pleased to see that we both live up to it, albeit in a subtle manner. Merry Christmas, My Brother!

Hi James, What a good take on the contest theme. You are right I didn't notice that this fine write started out as an acrostic. I love dolphins, I had the pleasure of seeing them up close many years ago. It was such a beautiful sight. Well done. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis
