The Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker
With suction cups on its body,
It clings to rocks and such
So tidal currents really do not
Bother it too much.
Its teeth, as sharp as needles,
Line the rims of bulbous lips
And spiky studs, like armor,
Fend off anything that grips.
If this awful-sounding creature
Makes you frightened, you’d be wrong
For this lumpy little sucker’s
Just a mere 3 inches long!
