Scotty Shrimp spies a rock

Then quickly hides behind it

The big stout tuna on Scotty’s trail

Wants I think a shrimp tail!

(2)

Scotty Shrimp held his breath

And found that he could float

Once he saw dead fish and crabs

Get tossed out of a boat.

(3)

Scotty’s mom kept swimming by

She and her new crush

Scotty waved every time

Which made the boyfriend blush.

(4)

All was quiet and all had fed

Now it was time for bed

Scotty slept in blue-white shorts,

Same ones he wore for sports.

(5)

The ocean’s current tossed them all

In the August squall

Scotty prayed and held on tight

His mom yelled, “Scotty, fight!”

(6)

Scotty Shrimp rides the waves

As billows rise and fall

He promised not to venture far

Soon his mom will call.

(7)

Scotty Shrimp’s birthday cake

Is made from tasty hake

With 30 fins and 15 eyes—

It’s baked underwater, far from flies.

(8)

Scotty Shrimp’s dad disappeared

One fine rainy day

Scotty and mom called and called

Then deduced he’d left the bay.
