Basking Beauties

WATERY WEDNESDAY

BASKING BEAUTIES!

Theirs' for the asking;
A life full of basking,
Of rolling and twisting and diving.
The African coast
Is the place they like most.
And just look for yourself! They are thriving.
*
The water is clear
And they swim without fear;
Bobbing up to see who is arriving.
I suddenly feel
I could live like a seal!
Why on earth do we waste our lives striving?

They sure look like they were having fun! If only it were warm enough for me to go swimming!
