"Ha! You silly old cetacean ..." cried Fat Seal on his berg ... "There's NO such thing as climate change!" "Of course there isn't," Orca agreed ... "You're SO much smarter than those other seals" (long since headed north) "So why aren't you chasing them, silly fool?!?" Fat Seal asked "Well, to be honest, I'm a bit lazy", replied Orca, smiling ... But patient, he mused to himself ... eyeing the shrinking ice.

The last three words "eyeing the shrinking ice" made me smile. Environmentalists should be screaming from the rooftops; I am glad you are keeping us afloat here, Gregory. Good luck in the contest.
