We dig our feet into the sand
We scoop and lift with our hand
Something firm, something round
What mysterious thing have we found?
At the beach, loads of shells
“It’s not that!” Levi yells
“It’s small. It’s round. It’s smooth and swirly;
A tornado of colors, brown and blurry —
A snail shell! THE BEST DAY EVER!”
Like pirate’s gold, he deems it treasure
Ocean lovers leave delighted
Let’s dig again, when reunited
