I Went Down to the Mont'rey Bay Aquarium

I went down to the Mont'rey Bay Aquarium,
I saw no baby otter there.
They were laid out on a green kelp bed,
"Exhibit closed" —the sign I read.


Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
Wherever she may be.
Otter-watching from an Aquarium overlook.
So the exhibit was closed for remodeling, but with spotting scope or binoculars you could watch a "raft" of otters not far off-shore. Some are radio-tracked, wherever they may be.

Weirdly related: this blog about the song referred to as "SJI."
