He's got a bathyscaphe

He's a marine biologist

Slid with the squid underneath the waves.

Architeuthis lean and fast.
Show us your sublime buccal mass.

Come along to the mesopelagic
We can frolic where the corals abound.
If the cads with the benthic trawlers haven't passed
by the time we get down.

Collect the specimens and illustrate 'em -
o well as best as you can

Bring 'em up, lay 'em out,
look 'em up, write 'em down,
and you can publish your findings
in a peer-reviewed journal.
