Forever I stretch, some would say I carry a fishy stench. A salty taste and an experience so sweet; dance with the sun and cool off from the heat.

My hair stays green above the ground, while orange treasure’s hidden down. Pull me free and crunch away, what am I you may eat today?

I rest where rivers end their run, yet I do not race beneath the sun. Too wide for pond, too calm for sea, and land surrounds the whole of me.

Deep and blue, I swell and break, Millions drown within my wake. My bed has never needed sleep, I salt the lips of those who weep. Rearranged, you can unpack The very thing that rides my back.

I’m brown and hairy, but not an animal. I’m filled with water, but I never drink.
