The Deep Sea

Down in the deep sea where the mystery starts
Where there are creatures as speedy as darts
Lies a world of wonder where no one has been
Deep deep down where no one’s seen

The fish swim by, colourful as the sun
As the octopus beckons you to come
You disappear into a maze of twisting tunnels
With each new path acting like a funnel

You emerge into a colourful new world
A reef with the coral, all of them curled
Pink, red, yellow and blue
Along with many other colors, all that are new.

The deep dark sea, not as dark anymore
Below the water, acting like a door
Is a world of wonder as colorful, as fun
There’s so much more, you're still not done!
