In the depths of the ocean blue,
There's a world that's waiting for you,
A world of wonder and surprise,
Where creatures of all shapes and sizes arise.

From the tiniest plankton to the largest whale,
They all have a story to tell and a tale,
And hidden beneath the waves so deep,
A world of secrets and treasures to keep.

A polyp may not look like much,
But it's the start of a coral's touch,
Growing into a barrier reef,
A place where many sea creatures find relief.

The crustacean scuttles on the sandy ground,
With claws so sharp and movements so profound,
And in the atoll, the fish dart and play,
In a world that's magical in every way.

And then there's the lagoon, calm and serene,
A peaceful place, like a dream,
Where life can thrive and flourish anew,
In the ocean's vast, eternal blue.

So come and explore this world of wonder,
And let your imagination wander,
For in the depths of the ocean blue,
There's a world that's waiting for you.
