Ode to a Stingray
I saw a little stingray
as I swam over Long Reef
I moved away and thought that
the encounter would be brief
But then the stingray spoke to me
from the bottom of the reef:
"I know we stingrays get bad press,
some despised as a thief
Related to the shark and then,
that incident with Steve
But do not be alarmed,
I will not harm you, Chief
The sting in my tail is small,
It could not cause you grief."
To demonstrate his lack of bite,
he smiled and said "No teef!"

A new hobby? The ocean poet.
Err .. when the water is clear and there's lots to see ... sometimes I get a little distracted on these ocean swims
