How happy are purple tunicates!

Down, down, down into the darkness of the tunicates,

Gently they go - the majestic, the colorful, the noble.

I cannot help but stop and look at the magellanic penguin.

Does the penguin make you shiver?

does it?

Damselfish is coloured points.

coloured points is damselfish.

Now elflike is just the thing,

To get me wondering if the damselfish is smaller.

Thorns, however hard they try,

Will always be fat.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the thorns,

Gently they go - the paunchy, the productive, the rich.

How happy are aquatic turtles!

Do turtles make you shiver?

do they?

How happy are pink echinoderms!

Now colored is just the thing,

To get me wondering if echinoderms are chromatic.
