Diablo Rojo

Off the San Diego coast
In the California sun
Thriving in it's waters
Deters the Scuba divers fun

An invasion from the deep
In thousands they have come
These carnivorous tentacled invertebrates
In mass, their prey succumbs

Whats made this explosion happen
Of these predatory Jumbo Squids
Was it an underground earthquake
That's made them flip their lid

Is there another agenda
That us humans cannot see
Could there be something else that's bigger
That drives them, to you and me

Now this would make a story
Off the San Diego coast
A monster from the deep
Or a prehistoric ghost

Outstanding write, James! I hear the same squid are invading San Francisco Bay! And, yes, we can only wonder what unleashed them from their normal deep sea habitats. I'd love to see a photo of one. I think I saw something not too long ago on TV about one that was captured well offshore. Scientists were struggling to keep it alive for research purposes. Indeed it may have been an underwater earthquake that "made them flip their lids." Love you, Carolyn
