Morning at the Beach

Representative Text

1 There's soapsuds on the waves,
There's white foam in the sky,
The peggles on the beach are wet,
And so am I.

2 There are fishes in the sea,
How many do you think?
How many shining fishes
And do thy drink?

3 If fished do drink water
Some day, perhaps, they'll try
To drink and drink and drink
The ocean dry!
