Ellie the Eel Nitaliya Schaeber ‘22

Everyone loves hugs, cuddles and kisses.

Sometimes, they’re not ideal.

Usually, these feelings are associated with humans,

And we forget about the fish and eels.

There once was an electric eel named Ellie.

She would make so many new friends.

But as soon as she would hug one of them,

The friend would be shocked, and the friendship would end.

Ellie would swim around the sea,

And try to make amends.

She would swim far and wide,

However there seemed to be no luck for a new friend.

Then, one day, she was swimming along,

And met another eel named El.

They danced and hugged all day,

In the end, in love, they fell.
