Ayia Napa Sea Monster
From the depths of the sea like depths of the soul comes tsunami wave
On the restless sea billows of many meters rave
Enough to put average ship in an underwater grave
Even in modern ship wind its visage on the spirits of passengers will engrave
The wind whispers the ballad of the old
There is a story in its whistling that is about to unfold
In the story possibilities are foretold
About strange things that encrypted information hold
Long time ago in nineteen century
A sail ship is traveling the sea
Captain is relaxed maybe drinking tea
When first mate tells him there is something he needs to see
At twelve degrees seven minutes and eight seconds latitude
Ninety three degrees fifty two minutes longitude
Captain saw a sea serpent of colossal magnitude
Over ninety meters long beast he viewed
The serpent had a horn that on its forehead lies
And glowing awe inspiring eyes
It was strong enough to stop the ship of impressive size
Moving at ten knots and at full sails likewise
On Cyprus they describe similar creature
Only with one different feature
Many heads is this unique feature
And Ayia Napa sea monster is name of that creature
But where could it come from is it just a crock or something more prime
Maybe it is reflection of something more sublime
Something born not formed with magnified cells at the same time
And something that could fundamentally mix the very time
Something that could be bomb of life creating new forms alive
And that life in its own universe would thrive
Beyond continuity it would survive
And for perfection it would not need to strive
