What’s that creature down below

basking in the summer glow

it looks like a kitten to me

perhaps it floated in on the sea

shall we go down and pick it up

no look again it’s a seal pup

it’s mother’s probably quite near

she’ll look after the little dear

but if she doesn’t come back soon

well tell the warden who knows what to do

At the end of every evening

before switching off the lights

I check on my household pets

and bid them all Goodnight

a tank containing goldfish

two cats and dog as well

I sometimes say it to my wife

or else she gives me hell
