Scaly, slimy,

He slides along

The bottom of the river

The fish swim

Slowly by

Drifting in the current

In the clear icy sapphire water

Above his head

But he pays them no mind

The sunlight glints off his back

Golden emerald

The water caresses his body

Peace is all around

As

Scaly, slimy,

He slides along

The bottom of the river
