Sea lion swam
With amazing grace
As we watched intensely
From a boat on the side.
He dived underwater
Back with a fish
Released it and caught it
And gobbled to finish.
As the act continued
Another fish in play
An awaiting seagull
Snatched the fish away.
Undisturbed sea lion
Undeterred in pursuit
Seagull tried again
No luck this time.
Sea lion repeated
This over and over
To the delight of viewers
With birds included.
