I heard on the news,
...about our dear Senate,
Declaring war on the dolphins,
...now wait just a minute,
I'm calling Green Peace,
...because I'm abhorred,
It's simply too heinous,
...it can't be ignored,
I'll go to court,
...seek habeas corpus,
For picking on a
...defenseless porpoise.
What's that you say?
...that's not what Daschall said?
"Defeating the purpose"
...boy, is my poor face red.

The dolphin was an animal who once lived on the land.God showed them the future and they saw man.They wisely de-evolved back to the sea.

No matter what style of writing you use, no matter the theme on which you write---I love your work!

This one elicited a chuckle and a half!

I'm not yet sure
if the listeners
need to cure
by a cleaning of ears
or if elocution
would do the trick,
but something's needed
mighty quick!
