Ambergris and Abalone

Aambergris is what it was that washed up on the dunes , Aabalone in the hands of children 'neath the moon. Sstarfish fallen from the sky , and Sseaweed for our heads we fell asleep along the reef upon our sandy Bbeds . the Ddreams that came were Neptunes' own, He held a triton on his throne, he bade us ride a steed below a spritely Sseahorse all aglow we wondered why he even cared to show us , but we gawked and stared at Ttreasures measureless by man he said he had a clever plan, if we should want to breathe the air we'd have to bring a Ttreasure there or stay forever down below, we begged him just to let us go, he said just one could rise above and prove an everlasting Llove by casting Ggold into the sea and then the other would go Ffree I went ashore and straight to bed, I still hear voices in my head they say ....... "'where have you gone my dear?" when I hold Sseashells to my ear.
