Oh, Mary! I know how heartsick you've been since Larry deflated into a faded puddle of his former self.

Bat Goddess to the rescue! Last Saturday I adopted a NEW inflatable lobster and I'm keeping it safely tucked into the original box until I next see you (or can otherwise transport it to your abode). It will need to me inflated, of course, upon arrival. And I understand it has handles near its "ears" so it can be ridden by youngsters in your backyard pool. (The invisible one.)
