An underwater dream ?

once I dived deep into the sea, swimming in the underwater,

I was thinking how lonely I am here when I suddenly heard a laughter.

I turned back and saw, hundreds of fishes coming, it left me in utter shock,

then I saw a pack of sharks coming with spears in hand and hurried behind a rock.

when I saw carefully, I realised those sharks were the guards of the sea,

they were protecting a royal procession, I couldn’t believe what my eyes could see.

the fishes were the subjects and they were clearing for their leader,

the octopus were moving the carriage with their eight legs, they were the royal bearers.

the carriage was placed on a huge rock on the floor of the ocean,

the sea horses came and started blowing trumpets like some expert musicians.

Some turtles were standing solemnly, they were ministers of underwater town,

then the carriage door opened and out came a mermaid, on her head was a beautiful golden crown.

she smiled at her subjects, waved at them with her hands,

all were clapping for her and making her welcome quite grand.

I was amazed to see the unique, big kingdom of theirs, 

I came out of the rocks and joined the fishes in their cheers.

I had created a distraction in the royal assembly,

the marine animals were staring at me, their looks were not friendly.

before I could say something, the sharks marched towards me,

I was alarmed and swimmer as fast as I could to cross the borders of the sea.

the shark with the longest spear was about to catch me when I heard a strange sound,

my morning alarm was ringing and I had fallen on the ground.
