Murky Sea

Deep below I couldn't see
What could be down beneath the waves,
From royal blue to gingerbread
What I saw what it could be.

My diving suit couldn't be seen,
With its gingerbread colour,
It Blends in with the surrounding water,
Under the turbid dark depths of the ocean
I should leave but I must stay
To see what's underneath the murky sea.

Diving down below in the putrid waves,
Feeling what It could be
Like a slimy gainsboro substance in the surf
Bigger than colossal squid!!
No way that's not true it couldn't be
What I saw was gone in a blink.
