For Love of Dolphins

Smile that smile,
   Trick after trick,
Aqua-powered playmate:
   Click, Click, Click.

Yummy tummy up,
   Flip about;
   Round and round,
   Inside out.

What're you saying?
What do you think?
Underwater Crooner:
   Plink, Plink, Plink.

Burst into song,
Compassionate friend:
Your high-pitched soprano
   My heart does rend.

Interestingly, this got published in one of my college's (Dartmouth) publications recently when they could have picked so many other, more serious poems...I guess that "shows to go you," as my father used to say. :)gw

Line Gauthier Date: 3/3/2018 10:21:00 AM Phonetically most amusing. Congrats on your fine poem, Gershon. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/3/2018 9:14:00 PM Glad it worked phonetically. How about CONTENTedly? (Ugh! That's an awful pun, isn't it? --Rated 'underwater.') Oh, well...Thank you for the observation, as always. :) gw
