The Immortal Jellyfish

~~~Turritopsis Nutricular~~~
The immortal jelly fish, I wish we could be Living like him/her under the sea. After reaching his or her sexual maturity It can turn back to a polyp, I wish it was me It uses a process called transdifferentiation It absorbs its own body, a good job it’s not a nation I imagine it all on a global scale You wiped them all out for them to grow back from a tail. It seems as though the immortal jellyfish Is not so immortal though when you read this. Cos as it reverts it gets diseased, eaten or dies, By this thing called plankton, and I think that comes with fries.
