THE MARINE BIOLOGISTS DILEMMA 3

poem by: Graham Jenkinson
Written on Feb 13, 2017

Was beach wet Because the Seaweed 
Can a Razor Clam Give you a Shave
Are  Those Really White Horses 
At the Crest OF Every Wave
Can a  Fiddler Crab Play a Fiddle 
Does a Hermit Crab Live Alone
Is the  Wind on the Shore Miserable
Because you can Hear it Moan
Does A Spider Crab Spin a web 
Can the  Conger eel Really Dance
Is it a  Friend or Anemone
Does a Seahorse Like to Prance
Does the Angel Shark Have a Halo
Can the Bishop Fish Save A Sole
Does A Horseshoe Crab Need a Blacksmith
Does A Coley Deliver Coal
Is a  Blue Whale Really unhappy
Does A Tiger Shark Growl and bite
Does a catfish have claws and whiskers 
Would the Ghost Fish Give you a  Fright
Is the  Dagger Fish Really a Dagger
Does the Pipe Fish Smoke A Pipe 
Does the Archer Fish Have a bow and arrows 
Does a Sniper Fish Really Snipe
Is a Lumpfish Really Lumpy
Does a Lungfish Really Breathe 
Does a Surgeon Fish do Operations
Can a  Weaver Fish Really Weave
Does the Elephant Fish Have a Long Trunk
Does a Lampray eel Shine A Light
Does the Electric eel Give you a  Shock
Does a Starfish Twinkle at  Night.

Lovely ideas of what is in the sea and what comes out of it.
