Book Cover & Preview Text
What would you put in a bath tub
That was as big as the bowels of the Earth?
It was easy for God to make something
To fill up the tides and the surf.
He made fishes from wishes to ride in the splishes
And eels and whales galore.
They ride on the tides, in deep caves abide
And sleep near the ocean’s rock floor.
Monsters and creatures and beings
That fumed and bloomed and roared.
Some of them still swim around us,
Others died with the last dinosaurs.
