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 fishlike 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.

This is very, very interesting Bri.....! From the strange union of a cormorant and a dolphin, two offsprings were born.... both sharing some of their parents' varied traits! I love to imagine Harry and Cory at play in the Dingle Bay! 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. How can we ever disbelieve some one like Bri......! ! ! ! Really enjoyed and thanks to Stephen for inspiring Bri!

Great poem Bri. I can see I might have to liven up my original at some point. I'll upload a cartoon so you can see Fungie and the cormorant interacting. It was a lighthouse keeper who first spotted the two together in Dingle Bay on the west coast of Ireland.
