Michael Phelps

can swim

almost as fast

as I can walk

He’s like

a seal

in the water

isn’t he

 

A leopard seal

struggles mightily

on the ice

if it fails

to catch a penguin

with one bite

It’s like a human

out of its wheelchair

 

but maybe if one

waddles

into the ocean

fast enough

they tell him

he’s Usain Bolt

 

Your spirit animal

would think you’re 

a silly goose

if only it could
