The Green Submarine

Captain Kim dived down deep into the ocean,
in her green submarine called ‘The Gherkin in Motion’.
Weaving past whales with the help of Mate Stu,
who steered the sub like a foot guides a shoe.

The Gherkin sped on ‘til it reached the sea bed.
From a map in her lap, Captain Kim calmly read:
“At the Great Anchor, turn sharply north-west.”
Mate Stu said “Aye aye!” and pressed on with their quest.

Past anglerfish, tuna and even a shark,
they gunned for a tunnel disguised by the dark.
The sub reappeared in a shower of light,
as before them appeared a mythic delight.

The green submarine was a craft full of glee –
a glittering city submerged by the sea!
Their eyes bulged out wide like a great Praying Mantis.
Captain Kim and Mate Stu had discovered Atlantis!
