SHELL SONGS... SPA's SHELL CHALLENGE...

 maggie and milly and molly and may

 went down to the beach (to play one day)

 and maggie discovered a shell 

that sang so sweetly 

she couldn't remember her troubles,

and milly befriended a stranded star 

whose rays five languid fingers were;

 and molly was chased by a horrible thing

 which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:

and may came home with a smooth round stone

 as small as a world and as large as alone.

 For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

 it's always ourselves we find in the sea
