This Is My Home Welcome to my home in the blue Where peace is found and love is true And there are never fishes Served on pretty dishes Since they're us mermaids' friends, too! Here, in the Atlantic, things are cold. There are plenty on plants and green mold. And to our delight, The sand is pure white Plus, friends never put you on hold! The ocean is truely cool. You don't have to go to school. Knowledge is brought Without being taught Because that's a longtime rule. Pearls and shells come free. Why should you pay a large fee? Since the clam is a friend, They give us stuff and lend Things to everybody! Now, one thing before you leave! There's a grand thing in the reef... Give'em a hand! It's a sea band Called the "Fish Triumphalies"! By Kayla DeVault, Greensburg, PA, Age 12, 2002
