Poetry for Sea Monsters

There is a beast deep in the sea

That they say looks a bit like me

With its long tentacles with suckery things

Which it can coil up like coiled springs

And it has a strange and scaly head

But has no face or so it has been often said

And its fins are fine and look like lace

And can completely vanish without a trace

And in the gloomy dark it will start to glow

With an iridescent and green fluorescent luminous light show.

Long talons and rows of sharp pointy teeth

Will catch its food on its favourite reef

It has big black eyes that number twenty five

So once it spots you then you will not survive

And it will often howl and let out eerie moans

And in times of famine can live entirely on small rocks and stones

Strangely though it looks rather regal

With it majestic horns and beak like that of an eagle

And it lays eggs on the shore buried in the sand

Which it makes quickly with a hideously deformed hand

And its body is blue

And it can swallow a whale

But it is just possible

This poem

Is a slightly exaggerated tale

Which is something seafaring folk tend to do

And fishermen

And Astronauts
And others
