dusky whaler,eastern blue




Seems like the ocean had one more day for me this year,
a charity swim.
And one more treat in store.
It wasn't this shark, though that distracted me long enough to stop and get a good hard look,
It was The Big Groper.
I have never seen him, and there he was, right beneath me, fanning his fins and having a Very Nice Time.




I asked him if he preferred the company of garfish or snapper.
He looked me up and down, and said," you more resemble a snapper, if that is where this question is leading."

Thrilled to have received this comment, I thanked him and swam on.

I told small boy, who was disappointed not to have seen the groper.
But guess what? I saw YOU!
he said.

Next best thing.

Ms Mermaid, you have proven your innate ocean origins once again. I think next time I see you I will address you as the Fish Whisperer. Wish I could have come on that swim with you...one day I will be fish enough to do it!

yes dear one,
please address me as fish whisperer, and make sure you do it with a big mouthful of octopus balls.

I've always been awed with the world underwater cuz it looks so different from what we're all used to. You're so lucky to have the opportunity to be one with that world :) Do enjoy as people like me live vicariously through you :)
