Analysis of Sweet Finned Pebble



Oh sweet dear 'pettle'
Know that I can’t cuddle
Well that isn’t a riddle
You cute finned pebble

Your world is quite small
Confined inside lucid walls
I am sorry to keep you all
Can’t hear your aching calls

You sweet little creatures
Glow with amazing features
I can’t leave you in beaches,
Knowing you can’t make the reaches

I want to find you a place
Where you all can live with grace
Doubt I’d ever solve that case
To let you swim miles in your phase
