Propelled by snorkel and scuba
That dreamy swim to Aruba
But the trip was long
Why? A heading quite wrong
Ended here...welcome to Cuba...

My craziest time under water
was diving with Godzilla's daughter -
she spotted a whale
and gnawed at its tail,
and ruined the snorkel I'd bought 'er.

Horkel and Snorkel set out for the pool
  Wearing their Speedos, they thought they looked cool ~
     H & S posed, then dove in
     Speedos came off, revealed skin ~
   At infantile stunts, cute girls do not drool...

There once was a boy from Jeckyll Island Sound
He roamed the beach and in the sand he found
A sea shell, a snorkel
A buried grand paw and a shovel
Adventure awaits in the sand mound.


For the sea tale limerick contest!!
~~~Ninth place win in the contest!!~~~~...

The infernal bane of Private Beetle Bailey,

   Is Sergeant Snorkel who pounds him daily!

      Beetle has mastered the fine art of goldbricking,

         And somehow manages to survive his daily licking!

all day i keep adjusting my mask
while secretly watching that hot tub dream
as it plays-out
on the tip of every nerve ending

i do not question
my presence in a jacuzzi
with a 
girlfriend of a friend

no
i sink back
into suds of impossibility

all day i have this itch
         to snorkel down
to touch

the secret life of ripples...

Time sloshes back and forth.
A rubber flipper
once lost off the Normandy coast,
briefly surfaces.

Off the Bognor Regis coast
one sand-encrusted flip-flop floats by,
it escaped years ago.

There are krill
nibbling at my floating mind.

I may have to snorkel
further
before the sun comes up -

the jellyfish
are stealing my stuff again.

I don't question
my presence in a Jacuzzi
with a girlfriend of a friend,
or why my ex-wife's sister
is now a soapy fingered hand-maiden.

All day I keep adjusting my mask
while secretly watching that hot tub dream 
as it plays-on
on the tip of every nerve ending.

I want to sink back 
into suds of impossibility.
I have this crazy itch
to snorkel down
to where I can touch
the secret life of ripples....

Ocean draws me love
Come, come relax as waves tap
Toes, pelicans, gulls

Fun floating face down
Snorkel, mask, strange ocean clown
Below fish dart, chase
Look for love, food, fun, frolic
Similiar needs_fish~humans

Love, food, fun, frolic,friendship
Fish congregate in close schools
Human congregate in needs
Needs as poetry shared

All day I keep adjusting my mask
while secretly watching that hot tub dream
as it plays-on
on the tip of every nerve ending.

I so wanted to sink back
into dream suds.

I have this crazy itch to snorkel down
to where I can touch the erotic life
of all things wonderful....

behind the plastic barrier,
    behind the black mask,
          behind the goggles,
        behind the paper bag,
      behind closed eyes,
    behind snorkel,
  behind chaste lips,
muffled but cheery,
 “hello!”

two eyes peer out
from cut out holes,
like the unknown comic -
a peerless booking.

perhaps, chaps,
the pandemic lasts
and lasts,
with a song and a dance -
a gong-tastic self-checkout.
