Salt

One word jokes

Brought out our salt water eyes.

Oceanographer,

You know these waters well,

Know which ones are fresh,

And, therefore, not to be salted.

***

Let’s talk probabilities,

Both mathematic and scientific,

Of finding ourselves some merfolk.

Salt water taffy,

You are the sweet accompaniment and ending

To every aquarium outing.

***

Your friendship is salt

I’d travel the planet to find you.

To lack it is a deficiency I never want to have.

A biological necessity,

I can’t function without it.
