Part of today…
Was spent in a most pleasant way.

With Dick and Ann I strolled along the beach…
To the Aquarium which is within walking reach.

Where creatures that live deep in the ocean without light
Are close and within sight.

We saw California King Crab, deep sea Isopod and Moon Jellies
And Otters floating on their back or bellies.

Giant Sea bas, Leopard Shark and California Moray Eel,
And the soft skin off Sting Ray we got to feel.

We enjoyed the California Sea Lion show
Saw Garibaldi, blue Rockfish and Sargo.

It was a pleasure to revisit
The Coral exhibit.

Unimaginable …to have a close up…and see…
what all is alive at the bottom of the sea.

We heard the sea lion’s barking sounds
And saw a Sting Ray of 400 pounds

In the Aquarium Aviary we were greeted by many Lorikeet
Multicolored birds…friendly and sweet.

The Aquarium of the Pacific
Is indeed terrific.

Although…in this poem most Animals I missed
There are just to many to list.

But it is worthwhile to spend time with a friend…
In this pleasant educational environment.

By now it was time to get of our feet…
And we stopped at Pf Chang’s for a bite to eat.

Then it was time to say good buy to each…
And we strolled home again along the beach.
