Surrender to the Sea

~

*Enchantment under the sea

noted places that used to be

Someone turned on the tap

now every couple years

the kids must learn

a new map

So wholly and completely

was the ice caps evaporation

these cities current address

is at the bottom of the ocean

with Atlantis:

There's London

Lisbon

Venice

and Dublin

There's Singapore

Sydney

Montreal

and Tripoli

There's New Orleans

Rio de Janeiro

Cape Town

and Cairo

Don't live in fear, children

but bring your scuba gear

Can't stop the melting spree

we all surrender to the sea*
