Watery Workout

Flippers up
  Flippers down
Wave those flippers 
  All around

Swish your tail
  From side to side
Create a wake
  A water slide

Take a plunge
  Dive down deep
Your body propelled
  As up you leap

Hey, Sea Lion
  Clap your hands
When you perform
  You grandstand*



*To grandstand means to 'ham it up'

Such a fun and cheerful poem, Gershon. A FAVE for me.

Wow. A Fave. The sea lion is giving you some 'Oncor claps!' Best wishes, gw
