Double-take reveals
It’s no diver, but a seal!
I leg it to shore.
Furtively sleeping
Seal in a rubber dinghy
You look so at home.
Swimming round Shag Rock
Do my goggles deceive me?
No. Seal caught napping.
At a safe distance
My short-term swimming partner.
Seal of approval.
‘You were just followed
By a sea dog, don’t you know?’
No, but I do now.
In place of Grandma,
Wolf in a velvet onesy
Stalks my ev’ry move.
