I was sitting, sipping coco
on the upper Orinoco
as the setting sun was sinking in the sky
when I spied a pretty porpoise,
who was pink, pop to the surface
and that propinquitous porpoise winked its eye.

Thanks, Jenny. When I first saw the Pink Dolphin I was sure it was a hoax and was truly amazed when I discovered it was real but then greatly saddened when I also discovered that it was an endangered species. That's why I wanted to let more people know about it. It would be terribly sad if something so bright ceased to exist. I'm also convinced that if more people knew about the existence of Pink Dolphins they would be saved. Who doesn't like Pink Dolphins? They look like something out of a children's fairy tale. Glad you liked my poem.
