(2008, written on a university bus)
Dolphin dreams of
walking with people
It’s on his to-do list,
high up there, with
befriend a shark,
start a business,
and write an autobiography
There’s a fair bit to put into it:
He once dated a French girl,
and saw King Neptune in a restaurant
Even knew Ariel,
before she sold out to Disney
He reckons he’s had a good life.
Few regrets.
Still misses his French girl –
she left him for another European.
But hey,
plenty more fish in the sea.
