Jellyfish

Poems from a fifth grader

Jellyfish are stronger than us
They have lived longer than us
This is their planet, really.
It should be.
There is even a kind that is immortal.
If something goes wrong,
They will just try again
Some can make two out of one.
One can make two
And those two can make four.
They are okay with salt water.
And freshwater
If it is water, they will find a way.

They are delicate creatures,
No heart or brain
They lived with the dinosaurs
So strong and brave
So unlike them
Yet jellyfish are still here
and dinos are not.

Some do sting
And it may hurt.
But don't blame them.
They sting because 
they need it.
	They need it to survive.

They have lived on the planet for longer than us. 
Much longer
And they will probably live longer than us.

And don’t forget
They are so beautiful
Swimming gracefully under the surface.
	 
Jellyfish rule this planet
But no one notices
They are taking over the world
But no one notices
They are amazing
But no one notices

That is why jellyfish rule the world.
