I want to be a starfish

June 27, 2016

Starfish have it easy,

you crawl around on tube feet,

And suck out the insides of clams.

You have spikes that hold you in place

And you can regenerate when you want.

I want to be a starfish

So I can spend my life staring at the coral reef

I want to be a starfish

So I can keep secreates from humans

I want to be a starfish
