Love Letter

I'm in love with you, my jelly baby.
I think you love me too maybe.
You float my boat when I'm below.
Your multicolored stings on show.

I'm in love with you, my Lion's Mane.
I think you love me just the same.
You now have me so captivated,
I'm surprised we have not yet mated.

I'm in love with you and all at sea.
I wonder what you'll do with me.
I'm willing to swim into your embrace.
If I die, so be the case.

Thank you Susan. Viv makes me laugh so much I try to reciprocate. But his latest on food has got me flummoxed.

What a unique interpretation of the contest theme and written with your usual wit jean:-) We have had jellyfish washed up on our shores from the recent hurricane they aren't usually found here and are dangerous if they sting you so no skinny dipping in the sea jean: -( hugs jan xx

Hi John! We had Lion's Mane jellyfish stranded on our beaches this past summer...most unusual that they should travel so far north.
