Stung by a Jellyfish
Getting stung was not my wish
I'd rather be nipped
By a little, little fish
They live in the ocean
Swim to and fro
They go with the current
And that's what I know
I never even saw it
Oh, it stings like a bee
One on the wrist
And one on the knee
Internet searches
For the best remedy
Tried the all the cures
And even peed on the knee
Swimming in the ocean
We see them in plain sight
We think we can avoid them
But we sure feel the bite
4th family beach trip
We always have such fun
But we tangled with the jelly fish
And the jelly fish won
