Down by the seashore, in the sea,
So many things astonish me,
But oddest one of sort and kind
The lemon jellyfish, I find.
A palest yellow is its hue,
And clear enough to look right through,
So smooth and shiny like a bowl,
It really does look very droll!
A nice flat stone is just the dish
To hold the lemon jellyfish;
It quakes and quivers gently there
Like lemon jelly, real and rare.
And very good I think 't would seem
When fixed with sugar and with cream;
It looks so good I almost wish
To eat the lemon jellyfish.
