Seein’ Things



Avast all ye who dip within
     The ocean’s briny deep;
While gaily sporting on the waves
     A weather optic keep.
Our old, but true sea serpent friend
     Is now upon his way,
And may be seen along the shores
     On any bathing day.

He last was seen off Hatteras,
     Which is afar from here;
But laws! Within an hour or two
     He could be off Revere!
Six feet around, and eighty long,
     With speed that makes a hum,
This latest story isn’t fast,
     But still it’s going some.
