“Australia’s giant spawning eel ball estimated to contain 2.8 million eels”
—ABC

In Black Lagoon, they dance with Gill.
The lobsters host their own quadrille.
Calypso crabs may have appeal,
but no one parties like an eel!

The rhythm of the breaking waves
provides the beat for ocean raves,
and once we start we can’t resist
the swim, the shimmy, worm and twist.

We hoochie coochie on and on
until we get the urge to spawn.
So come Down Under any fall
and join us as we have a ball.
