A Poem-A-Day Celebration

Poem submission by Lynn Jago

Simon thought the ocean a puddle

He stepped in and found himself in trouble

All around strange wonderful creatures

Grotesque and joyful were their features 

.

All seemed to play, fair and square

Nobody pointed, nobody stared

What a pleasant place! thought Simon

When I go back, I must remember where to find them!

.

The land felt so murky after that

He pondered on a rock as he sat

The air was in fact quite smelly, he amused

He felt like a filter being used and abused

.

I must find a way to join the creatures of the sea!

Maybe a mask and snorkel is all I need be

So he attached a long snorkel to his humanly head

And forever more in the sea he made his bed.
