I spent the last two days out on Cape Cod visiting my Dad. He likes the seals — and I don’t take much convincing — so we headed out to Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge to take a look. This is just one of the many seals we encountered. The latin name for the gray seal is Halichoerus grypus, which means hooked nosed sea pig. I can kind of see that.

——- Much hidden
——- Below the waves
——- Shows his buoyancy
——- Like a berg
——- Dark eyes sleek face
——- Search the surround
——- With the curiosity
——- Of your favorite dog
——- Soon to lounge
——- On a rocky ledge .

Sounds good, thanks. I’m usually up there once each summer. My Dad rents in Welfleet for a few weeks. Hope all is well.
I love the seals. Dogs of the sea. My father hates them as he says they eat all of his fish.
