The Water's Edge

I dreamt I walked along the water's edge,
and carried something I should not get wet.
I teetered as I walked along this ledge,
and for all my carefulness I fell yet.

As I struggled to keep my parcel dry
I found myself losing my balance more.
Once I'd righted myself, before my eyes
was a seal who would keep me from the shore.

As I pondered on whether seals do bite,
I noticed this seal wore a scuba mask.
Soon I found myself frozen by my fright
I wondered: would I reach the shore at last?

Alas! I confess I may never know,
for in water I was, then I awoke.
