Sea Monkeys
by
J. M. Hallett
Above these ashen plains, we sit
O'er all their lunar grandeur
Us, having evolved from fish
Tree-climbing fish, I suppose
And, no doubt, quite dull in color
Hairy, ring tailed creatures then?
"Sea monkeys!"
We blurt in unison, then grin
While thorn bushes
Guard the entrance to our cave
And all who dwell therein
