The sea will splash you if you give it a whack

The sea has a small cousin who is a pond

The sea will wave to you when you turn to leave

The sea is made of blue ink and green paint

The sea hates it when it’s drawn as a wavy line

The sea is cold because it hasn’t got a coat on

The sea going up and down is a sign it’s still breathing

The sea feeds on rubbish but even he can’t manage it all
