Baby Sea-Cow
she's lost in vast ocean
aimless she swims around
this sea-cow all alone
her mum cannot be found
sea grass she tries to eat
but it has a strange taste
and is no tasty treat
as mixed with plastic waste
she's soon feeling unwell
struggling to nearest shore
her insides start to swell
and pain builds more and more
locals to rescue go
and show for her much care
then baby sea-cow know
they help with her despair
next day there comes the worst
she dies from toxic shock
as her insides then burst
because of plastic’s block
but where had her mum gone
in vast expanse of sea
had sea grass she eaten
mixed with waste pvc
