Page 67 - Highlights 2020 FINAL

Mussel Up

I'm clinging to a rock,

Being battered by the waves.

At the mercy of the sea,

Living long and tedious days.

No escape for me,

Life's a constant tussle

Relentlessly being pounded,

It's not easy being a mussel.

Stuck here on this rock

Filtering away all day.

Nothing to eat but plankton,

I wish I could swim away.

Oh, to be a fish

And cruise the open sea,

I may be shackled to my rock,

But I dream of being free.
