Modern Sea Creatures

Creatures of the sea, all beautiful and fair. A thought comes to mind, what if they swam in the air? Would we swat fish away as we do with bugs Or tentacle arms always giving hugs? Whales would want nicknames, Sardines playing hopscotch games, Lion-fish need to be tamed, Crabs at cafes sipping coffee from mugs. Starfish lazily lay getting tan, Seahorse has a political chat with man. The clownfish tells jokes at comedy night While anglerfish holds still as the light. Sea otters would be perfect babysitters, Barracuda will pose with shine and glitter, And sea urchins would love to clean litter. Seals, wanting a swim, will make the bathroom flood. Turtles would work construction because of their shells, The lobsters would be managers of hotels, Swordfish would join battle, Manatees could look after cattle. Sea anemone helps with shock therapy, Dolphin cheerleaders yip with glee, The shrimp will sell car insurance, guarantee, And orcas looking good in scrubs. Flying fish would be airplane pilots, Narwhals picking fights and riots, Sea urchins would give tattoos. Manta rays can be anchors on the news, Sea slugs would be the ultimate spies, Scallops having staring contests with multiple eyes, Belugas stealing cookies but always denies. Electric eels dealing out drugs, The sting ray always tattles and blames, A jellyfish constantly proclaims his name is James. Pufferfish will be prideful and wise And the hammerhead shark ruins your rugs. The walrus could be a taste tester, The blue whale, a movie director. Librarian belongs to the hermit crab, Cuttlefish would drive a taxicab. Sea lions workout, under the chest press they strain And angelfish work for voting campaigns. “What life would be like” I exclaimed “If we swat around fish like bugs.”
