A Floating Coral Reef

As I swim down to the sea shore,

I saw a crab selling seashells.

I waved my tentacles and shouted:

“Oy Mate! Give me a seashell!” 

The crab sneered, “you octopus, be gone!”

I was shooed away by a little, tiny crab.

But I wanted a seashell, it was my dream!

Then I saw a coral reef as beautiful as me!

So then I floated towards the coral, suddenly..

POP!

I became the color of the reef!

So I went back to the crab and yodeled, 

“Oy mate! I'm just a floating coral reef!”

I pointed to my rainbow body.

“Give me a seashell won't you!”

The crab smiled “Here ya’ go lad!”

He grabbed a beautiful shell with swirls of brown and pink,

“One seashell for the floating coral reef!”
