Tenacious Barnacle!

wave CRASH! wave CRASH!

There's a barnacle stuck to a boat And the storm rolls in real big! Waves SLAM! The wood goes CREAK! The barnacle just shrugs — shrug.

STUCK! HOLD! NOPE! The captain pulls and pulls! STUCK! HOLD! NOPE! That barnacle FOOLS the fools!

TENACIOUS! Tuh-NAY-shus! That little shell does NOT let go! TENACIOUS! Tuh-NAY-shus! Through ALL the storms, through high and low!

pry pry pry — STILL STUCK!

A pirate came with a giant pry! He pulled till he turned PINK! The barnacle yawned and held on tight — "You can't move me, I think."

Hurricanes? She's still there. Tidal waves? Still there. A whale brushed past? She didn't blink — Still attached without a care.

TENACIOUS! Tuh-NAY-shus! That little shell does NOT let go! TENACIOUS! Tuh-NAY-shus! Through ALL the storms, through high and low!

wave CRASH!

She's small. She's slow. She holds on HARD. That's the whole barnacle plan. Storms come and go. Boats come and go. Tenacious as tenacious can!

STUCK! HOLD! NOPE!

(Try tomorrow.)
