Notes About The Poem

Synchronised: Dolphins show a remarkable ability to act in concert as they leap in pairs or larger groups

Dolphins

DOLPHINS

Dolphins are a regal breed
But their antics seem to say
Come on in, the waters fine
Wouldn't you like to play

We can swim and dive 
Or even toss the ball
I'll teach you how to spin
But you will never fall

Won't you come and swim with me
And pretend we're in the ocean
Swimming with great big sharks
Isn't that a silly notion

Okay, I'll just play alone
But you can still have fun
Lounging around the pool
Soaking up some sun

Then I know you'll have to go 
So your Mom won't worry
But please stay a little longer
Don't be in such a hurry

It's been fun just pretending
That we had so much fun
Won't you visit me again
Before the Summer is done

And may Santa (uh oh, I wrote a poem recently saying I didn't believe in him) leave your stocking stuffed with all the things you wanted as a child, but never got. Yes, I really did write a poem about him but I'll always be a child at heart and pretend.
