The Dancer and The Felon

The dolphin wore tights,
Pelican held a melon,
They were caught in the act,
The dancer and the felon.

They'd met under moonlight
Many lifetimes ago
She was dancing on stage,
Whilst his crimes had hit a low.

He was upset they'd argued
At who's turn is was to pay,
"I'm a pelican not a tern.
No matter what they say!"

Angry he cried out,
"I don't understand your purpose."
She leapt on the line,
"I'm a dolphin not a porpoise."

They'd left without paying,
And he took with him the melon.
That's when the police caught up
with the dancer and the felon.

Infamy for the picture
That flashed across news stands,
Tights pulled over dolphins head
And a melon in pelican's hands.
