A VINYL-SIDED WET DREAM*


that’s what I’ve been described as – imagine – it must
be because of my sleek, slippery, coat; I am rarely dry,
preferring to spend most of my time in the ocean. In case
you mistake me for a seal – don’t – I am the much more
interesting sea-lion. I can bark! Yes, it’s true – as loud
and precise as any dog, but again, more enthrallingly.
Oh – and I love to pose for photos—maybe you guessed
that already from the front of this card…

*From E. Bachinsky’s poem Valley from the book Home of Sudden Service
