Harbor Sea Lion

I was as innocent
as a harbor sea lion
sunning and snoozing on a Sunday
before the tourists started
peering from the pier above. People,
at least is you're going to stare,
could you toss me some snacks,
I'm starving down here;
there are so many fish,
but the sea is cold
and this saltwater stings my eyeballs.
no wonder I'm bark growl crying.
