Sea Otter Named Sue
Sea Otter, Name is Sue,
Hunting in the ocean blue.
Octopus, Squids, Sea Urchins and Fish,
Cockles, Clams, Crabs and Shellfish.
Smashing with rock on her furry chest,
A meal so tasty, Oh! it is the best.
Back floating, posture, serene reposes,
She eats, plays, She sleeps, dozes.
She mates and gives birth, sea waters,
Baby on back, she trains and nurtures.
Anchor in a forest of kelp,
Swirling seas, a dire need, help.
2000 remained,20th Century distinction,
Hunted to a point of near extinction,
Precious furs, Priced possession,
Hunter, Human, One explanation.
Survival now, protected by law,
200000 now, only one flaw,
Greed driven hunting,
Unscrupulous poaching,
Still rears its ugly head,
Help stop it, dead.
