Under the city we descended,
Submersible explorers, loaded torpedoes,
Dark hallways looming like sea caverns,
Abandoning light to darkness.
There we showed you a new world
Aquatically hidden, bubbly as your bum,
Fishes flowing freely round corals,
Eels squirming out of their holes,
Penguins plunging through the water.
Our flotilla entered a tunnel most peculiar,
Where we found ourselves surrounded
By a school of sharks meandering above.
You danced, you shrieked, you pointed,
Eyes wide, brimming with joy and wonder,
Adoration collected, waves coalescing,
The city surrendering to your shiny glow,
Dear baby, chubby little cherub,
Roly-poly chatterbox, alert piper,
Drawing faces to your smile like bees to a flower.
