I am a foodie, I must confess, I swim a few laps for exercise
Along come the Mollusk, and to my pleasant surprise
I have no restraint and they look so yummy
I just open my jaws wide, and fill up my tummy

Holy Mackerel, they make quite the feast!
Unlike that deepwater whale; Moby Vic, that lumbering beast
A real blow show, they eat any freak’n thing
Whale diet: Squid, Krill, Larvae, what distaste they bring!

Ah, catching up to the guys, what are they circling ‘round?
Heya Tom, Bill, GW, Anil.  Rob, l see you’ve gained a pound 
“I’m on a sea-food diet, I see food, I eat it!”  Hee hee hee
Yep, you may want to stick to your day job, try a sea-shanty!

Look over there boys, the Seahorses, I hear they work for LYFT
Harry, how’s business, break for some sushi? California Roll, a gift
You may wanna giddy up, plenty of shrimp crawling beneath you
I know how much the Seahorse love to munch crustaceans too

"Shrimp—cockroaches of the sea! Not a kosher food"
Okay GW,  what do you eat, my friend, set the mood
Gefilte fish recipe; grind the salmon, red snapper, codfish, 
Onions, carrots, add eggs, sugar, salt, white pepper, in a dish
Stir in ice water, add matzo meal and chop, boil, voila, gefilte fish!

To the right of us, why it’s Lady L, my, she is swell 
Small crabs on her menu, anything in the sand that dwell               
Blowfish is a species that feeds on poison, dangerous to eat
They can’t hunt, they call ‘em puffers, just one puff’s a real treat

Anil, do you believe in sea nymphs on a blue oceanic parade?
Yes, I vision the lovely face of Wendy on the frame of a mermaid
Nil, come on now, aren’t you married, mate
OK, Tom, I’m going home, I won’t be late, I won’t be late

To the right of us the Starfish, greet the ladies of the sea
How they brighten the day, on display, as charming as can be
Pangie, Valsa, Andrea, Paula, Len, Kim, Eve and Gina
I know how you love snails, I bring escargot straight from the Marina

And so, my friends, another lovely day.  Join us for our usual Activities and Brunch

Thank you, Eve...Most Starfish excel at cleaning algae, they like snails as well, you can live on that as a Star-fish! May warm tides caress you
