Some Truths about the Jellyfish
The fact is that the jellyfish
will never be a deli fish,
for when one tries to catch their goo
in nets, they’ll find it slips right through.
Their choreography includes
frequent oozing interludes,
the ramifications of this being
that the jellyfish you’re seeing
might be prone to disappear.
So for a moment he is here
and then he’s gone and over there
peering at you from his lair.
A kaleidoscope of colors that
sometimes look skinny, then look fat—
expanding to a great extent.
Shrinking and swelling is their bent
So if you seek a belly fish,
please rule out the jellyfish,
for though I know they look delicious,
they simply aren’t edible fishes.

I feel that I should remind you of this
keep your distance away from a jellyfish
for a whole lot of pain they can bring
those tentacles give a terrible sting~!

Yes.. I know that. I’ve even gotten stings from their detached tentacles floating in the water.
