Far below the ocean waves, a gnarble lay in bed,

All night long his gnarble dreams kept swimming in his 

head.

He dreamt a dream of 

swimming up to see the 

sky above,

Lit up by the sun in colors 

he just knew he'd love.

But gnarbles never swam that high, their fins were much 

too small. Their tails were thin and floppy, which didn't 

help at all.

This gnarble liked his fins and had no problem with his 

tail, So when he woke he knew that he just couldn't, 

wouldn't fail.

"I'm swimming up above the waves to see the sky of 

blue;

I've never seen it even once, and now it's time I do."

But the other gnarbles warned him that he shouldn't 

swim so high,

As did the blyfish family that always swam close by.

"No gnarble's ever swam that high, it simply isn't done,

A blyfish might just make the trip, but we know you're 

not one."

"Gnarbles don't have flappers like all us blyfish do, You 

don't even have koggers like the swimming gungaloo."

But the gnarble 

didn't listen and 

he left his 

friends behind.

No silly blyfish 

family could 

ever change his 

mind.

He swam up past the boulders made of spongy gishy-gosh,

And flew right by the herd of floating feeding fipple-fosh.

His fins were getting tired but he knew he couldn't stop, 

So he kept swimming faster, trying hard to reach the 

top.

Just then a hungry warckel blocked the gnarble 

with his fin.

He grabbed him by his tail and brought him 

right up to his chin.

"I've never had a gnarble, this would be a tasty treat,

But you're much too thin and tiny for big old me to eat."

So the gnarble just kept swimming, and didn't dare to 

stop, Until he heard the sound of a great big bubble POP!

The sound he heard was that of a silver subbalubble.

The gnarble tried to hide somewhere that he could safely 

stay.

But the subbalubble saw him and was headed right his 

way.

The gnarble cowered back in fear and shook from fin to 

fin, But then he saw a school of fish called shiny 

glimmy glin.
