ATLUNTIS RISES

---

IN ANCIENT TIMES ATLUNTIS WAS A CARIBBEAN JEWEL,
AN UNDERWATER PARADISE WHERE FISHES LIKED THEIR SCHOOL
IT WAS COMPRISED OF AQUANAUTS, LIKE MERMAIDS AND MERMEN,
THEY RODE AROUND ON SEAHORSES THEY KEPT INSIDE A PEN

THEIR GARDENS WERE THEIR OCCUPATIONS, BUT AFTER WORK WAS DONE,
THEN SQUIDDISH WAS THEIR RECREATION, A GAME THEY'D NEVER WON
THEIR MATCH AGAINST THE DULFUNS WAS AN ANNUAL EVENT,
A DANCE AND CELEBRATION, THE KING HE ALWAYS WENT

WIDAS WAS THE RICHEST KING THE WORLD HAD EVER SEEN,
HIS PALACE MADE OF CORAL, HIS THRONE FROM PLASTICENE
WIDAS WAS A GAMBLER, HIS WEALTH HE LIKED TO HOARD,
HE BET ON SQUIDDISH EVERY YEAR WITH ALL HE COULD AFFORD

HE ALWAYS CHOSE THE DULFUNS CAUSE THEY ALWAYS WON FOR SURE,
HIS SUBJECTS CHOSE THE AQUANAUTS SO THEY WERE ALWAYS POOR
THE PLAYERS USED A JELLYFISH THEY ROLLED INTO A BALL,
THEY USED A CONCH SHELL FOR A NET AND HUNG IT ON A WALL

THE GAME WAS FAST AND FURIOUS, THE DULFUNS HELD THEIR OWN,
UNTIL THE FINAL SECONDS WHEN OLD SNAPPER WAS ALONE
THE SPECTATORS BEGAN TO CHEER, THE GEESE BEGAN TO HONK,
WHEN SNAPPER STOLE THE DULFUNS' BALL AND STUFFED IT IN THE CONCH
NOW WIDAS HAD TO FACE THE FACTS HE COULD NOT JUST IGNORE,
THE AQUANAUTS LEAD ONE TO ZIP, THAT WAS THE FINAL SCORE

NOW WIDAS IS A GARDENER, MUCH TO HIS OWN SURPRISE,
HIS KINGDOM'S DOING BETTER NOW, ATLUNTIS ON THE RISE
