Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, O Please!
A song of ships, and sailor men,
And parrots, and tropical trees,
Of islands lost in the Spanish Main
Which no man ever may find again,
Of fishes and corals under the waves,
And seahorses stabled in great green caves.
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing of the things you know so well.
Sea Shell

I absolutly love this little poem! It makes you think for a second, when your on the beach and you pick up a sea shell and drop it into your pail, where did it come from? What stories can it share?
