Seahorse Rocking Chair
Now, what does a seahorse use for a rocking chair?

And powered by ocean currents, Using vanes that go round--and weights for the rocking! Wow! That's an invention! We could earn cash like water! Hey, I'll write to the Patent Office, if only You will do up those drawings they always want. February 1986
