clean waves crashing

Clean waves crashing
bull shark swims up
freshwater
stingray is swimming on
the ocean floor
jellyfish gets eaten by
crocodiles
big whale spray
in the sunshine
the water dragon has rough
skin and sleeps on the
rock
the boys jump off the bridge
into the baalom
bubbles float up
ducks and geese fly over us
