Short Sea Lion Poems

Sea lion and sea horse were friends of course.
Living in the Pacific of the Norse.
Heard a rumor
Both had a tumor.
Not from an honest reliable source....

A salty sea-lion called Nicky,
Had flippers all snotty and sticky,
Her friend Helen-Rose,
Said "Please blow your nose!"
"And then you won't be quite so picky!"...

Thanks Mum, that meal was a nice tasty dish
But no one will say if my breath smells of fish
I ask them but no-one will tell me the truth
Not even the seagull that’s sat on the roof
It’s only you, Mum, that I can rely on.
Son, she said grinning, you’re a sea lion...

The Walrus, he is an ugly brute, 
Made entirely out of rubber, 
Lounging on the shore all day, 
Like discarded old whale blubber.
 
Sea Lion on the other hand, 
Is arguably, I think quite cute, 
Gliding along the beach at play, 
In his slick grey leather suit....

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'...

Skimpy-wimpy sea lion, too afraid of the wild and hungry cat,
ran the quickest marathon, to crash into an enormous, drowsy elephant!
Before that incident, he happily danced...thinking he was in a parade;
oh, he liked to play under the gushing, splashing cascade;
and skimpy-wimpy sea lion, always had one keck of a good time getting wet!

alas, used to not be alaska 
but russia, yet the people remained
borders moving across them like 
the northern lights something you 
don't feel the roar of the ocean 
is nothing once at shore the numb
of the far north never reaches the 
bones of the sea lions the tlingit
language has yet not been extinguished
let us talk for a while yet in the 
sunset burning like embers and 
remember that a great blaze can 
be born from the smallest coal....
