I used to Live


    I used to bathe with whales...now I don't see a single animal.

I used to sing to starfish...now my voice is gone.
I used to instruct dolphins to do ballet...now I can't tolerate my two feet.


I used to perform with stingrays...
now I have a hole in my leg.

I used to pet sharks daily...
now my right hand is missing.

I used to giggle with clownfish...
now  my humour is lost.

I used to fly with jellyfih...
now my left arm is crippled.

I used to dream all day...
now I can't even sleep.
