MELBOURNE, Australia — What lives a mile under the sea, has tentacles and fins and looks like a decapitated chicken ready for roasting?
The headless chicken monster, of course. NYT
Down below the sunshine in the waters dark and deep
are creatures that mock reason and can make your goosebumps creep!
The headless chicken monster is just one such bugaboo;
it slinks up onto beaches -- and it's coming after YOU!
The frazzled winking bumpkus is another creature that
flits about the ocean like a venomous big bat.
With fangs as big as sabers it can rip a whale in two;
it feeds on tattooed sailors and the foolish swimming gnu.
Beware the pumpled pewterfish; its scales are long and sharp --
if you try to pet one you'll be playing on a harp!
Oh, barnififes and clicky butts patrol the wastes below,
spreading out their tentacles as grey as mildewed snow.
So stay off of the ocean floor -- it's not a pleasant place.
It's where the mumping wunkershell can suck off your whole face!
