Fungie And The Cormorant Poem by Stephen Katona
Fungie And The Cormorant
A dolphin lost his wife,
The love of his life.
In Dingle Bay.
He chose to stay.
Fungie was his name,
His play brought fame,
But he felt all alone,
With his sweetheart flown.
Until, something black,
Crashed into his back,
So fast and blurred.
A bird,
My word!
That liked to dive,
To feel alive.
Far below,
Fungie said hello!
To Corm, the sea crow.
They got to know,
Each other,
As sister and brother,
Had all sorts of fun,
Ask anyone!
The lighthouse keeper spied,
Fungie give Corm a ride,
And toss him many meals,
Of fish and slippery eels.
In return, Corm ate a parasite,
Saving Fungie's sight.
When cold winds blew,
Their friendship grew,
This unlikely pair,
With time to share.
I love this beautiful write, Dingle is such a stunning place and Fungie is adored by the locals and visitors alike, you have written a heart warming poem!

Thanks, Steve, for a fine story with nice rhymes! you've inspired me. :) bri ========================================================================= Fungie and Corm: an Unlikely Pair ….. [Animal Fantasy; inspired by Stephen Katona’s “Fungie And The Cormorant”; mixed-marriages; SHORT] In Dingle Bay two friends did play. One a mammal and one a bird. They helped each other, people say. [Some thought the “match” absurd.] But, though they were not “the same”, they played the friends-to-lovers game. Both were single and thus ‘available’, though the thought, to some, was assailable! So it came to pass, that they were wedded, and Fungie took Corm home with him and bedded … her. Now you may not believe the rest of this story, but they had two sons, one Harry, one Cory. If you don’t believe me, go down to Dingle Bay, with binoculars and you’ll see there at play …. two offspring from the dolphin-cormorant pairing, as, with their parents, they are now (the Bay) sharing. Harry has a long fish-like body AND scale-covered feet. Cory has black feathered wings PLUS a dolphin tail, complete. Their parents are now happy as they both can be, as their inter-Order family frolics in …………. the deep blue sea. (May 23, 2015)
