intertidal

Yellow white blue
Sand foam sea
Here is a crab
There is some kelp
What is to be done ?
Tide moon neap reap
Here come the grunions
Shall we make a castle ?
Oh let's oh let's fill
Our small buckets
And rampart and
Buttress and moat
With a gold blue red
Lion oriflamme on top
Proudly defying the tide
Until teatime when the
Salty siege succeeds
And we retreat to our
Hotel in jelly shoes
Clutching little treasures
In sandy hands
