For my literary brethren - a poem.
I didn't see the dolphins
Off the starboard deck today
I didn't see the turtles
As they swam along the bay
From the boat to Christmas Island
I missed the giant ray
Why am I always never there
When they come out to play?
ALighting on the island
I began to feel the heat
I dipped my toes in water
Near the palm trees on the beach
The angelfish and coconut crabs
All lurked beneath my feet
But no I didn't see them
Til one bit me for a treat!
I didn't see the albatross
Floating in the sky
I never saw the whale
When she surfaced to say "hi"
Now I think about it
Only one thing's caught my eye
That irritating buzzard
The common or garden fly!
