I Was a Sitting Duck

I was a sitting duck when the tide came in. No idea it would go past my chin. I struggled and I flopped. I bucked and I hopped. It took me way out to sea. I went under quickly, poor little me. But a dolphin came along and gave me a push. That old water threw me up in a whoosh. I found myself all safe and sound. To say thanks I looked all around. But the dolphin was gone with a flip and a wink, And I resumed washing dishes in our old kitchen sink.
