The Beautiful Calm Reef

I can feel:
Long green seaweed swishing as the water travels through,
Dolphins delightfully diving and flipping,
Flippy fish there's red, orange, yellow, green, and blue,
Tiny turtle's and cheeky crabs that are always nipping.

I can hear:
Camera's always clicking when divers take photos,
The rumbling and honking of boats when they're ready to go,
The big blue boat drivers are giving advice they are pros,
Flippy fish franticly feeding on swishing seaweed and algae down below.

I can feel:
Turtles tough carapace on my fingertips,
My snorkel on my face and my flippers on my feet,
When I hop out of the water I can feel the wood from the ship,
All the animals like fish, dolphins, and sharks all love to eat.
