Randolph the Red-Head Sea Lion

This one goes out to all the beach bums and surfers out there...

You know Swimmer and Diver and Shelly and Cowling...
Comet and Pooper and Beachbum and Barker...
But do you recall,
the most famous sea lion of all..
Randolph the red-head sea-lion,
had a very itchy ear.
And if you ever saw it,
you would even say "oh dear!"
All of the other sea lions,
used to laugh and call him names.
When he was tagged by a marine-biologist,
they gave him all the blame.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Randolph with your GPS tracker so bright,
won't you pull my board tonight."
Then all the sea lions loved him;
as they shouted out in horror,
"Oh, for the love of christ!
Santa's wearing that damn speedo again!"

Apologies to Johnny Marks, wherever you are...
