Toroa
graceful,serene,explorer,royal
Lover of their nutritious diet of fish,squid,salps and octopus.
How feels delighted when clacking and clappering with mates on the dance floor!
Who needs their amazing tube noses to get the salty water out of their body.
Who gives birth at the majestic Tairoa Heads South of Dunedin.
Who fears pollution like oil and rubbish which they might think is food.
Who would like a sneaky snack by the boat side but,watch yourself!
Who comes from a common tipuna of penguins from 65 million years ago.How strange !
Albatross

ReplyDeleteAwesome - your poem is the first one I have read that mentions where the Toroa give birth.
