There was once a little sub
He was called Eleos*-Blue
His daddy had swum in world war One
His mummy in world war two
He had grown up being taught
That his role was to fight
To carry sailors in deep waters
Where there was zero light
His little body had been trained
To dive in extra deep
Sharks and squids and anglerfish
Would never make that trip
But in his tinny tiny heart
The little sub didn’t like
The grownup chore that they called war
He was a happy little tyke
When the admirals saw that he
Would beam with the purest joy
Everytime he was visited
By a little girl or boy
They took him to the water park
And put him in the pool
And there he still swims happily
There never was a sub so cool!
* Eleos: In ancient Athens, Eleos was the personification of mercy and compassion – the counterpart of the Roman goddess Clementia.
