An Old Mammal

Wettest summer in Ontario in the last twenty annuls Turning quite aquatic, could swim the English Channel That used to be a big deal Now it's lost it's appeal I'm really no hero, just an over-the-hill mammal

Over what hill, where? Right behind you youngun. We have had many more boomers on one day than I can remember.

Must have been scary as heck. No wonder you are so subdued today.

At one point, really thought it was a tornado! Only lasted five or ten minutes, thankfully!!! xxx

Do you want to swim the English Channel? I wouldn't want to, all those jellyfish, to be stung that many times would be awful! I loved your awesome poem here this morning, such a delight to see! Great Work!!
