Four little Lily pads
Went to the sea
Want to see
Her Majesty
Unending waters
Shores not known
Fables and tales
Of the days bygone
As they got near
their hearts filled with fear
The mighty sea
was showing its colours
winds strong, waves flow
strong tides, high brow
At the bay, out of their way
lived the kind Octopus
Saw these novices
Unable to move
Unable to enjoy
The turquoise blue
Ocean glue
Beautiful sun
Or have any fun
Calmed them down
By singing a song
Let them drink
Something strong
Mood restored
Fear no more
They went in
Lagoon grinned
Met the wise coral
Heard from her
Ethics and morals
Eel came around
Electricity abound
Charged their hearts
Journey restarts
it was time to go
Back to their pond
Pads truly happy
Wanted octopus along
For him to see
Beautiful world
beyond this sea
He came by
Thoroughly enjoyed
The tranquility
Life quality
Of calmer waters
And smaller beings
No adventure of the sea
Just contentment and glee
Perspectives on Life, the Universe and Everything

A delightful fancy to accompany those beautiful water-lily pads. When I was young and had many Mauritian friends, they called those “nénuphars” – only the gods know how to spell that, but at least I have it correct in terms of pronounciation. 😀
