I don't usually write rhyming poems. This is one attempt.
It's wet below
It's wet below
I don't want to go
Where it's wet below
Slimy things are there
Slimy things are there
Beware, beware
Slimy things are there
Fell in the water
Fell in the water
I suppose it doesn't matter
I fell in the water
Drowning in the depths
Drowning in the depths
Took my last steps
Now I'm drowning in the depths
See something shiny
See something shiny
Deep and dark and briny
See something shiny
There's treasure down below
There's treasure down below
Didn't want to go
But there's treasure down below
Up to the light
Up to the light
I swim up
Up towards the light
In the boat I go
In the boat I go
Hands full of gold
In the boat I go
Dripping and cold
Dripping and cold
I survived the sea
Dripping and cold.

Wet Below
It's wet below
It's wet below
I don't want to go
Where it's wet below
Slimy things are there
Slimy things are there
Beware, beware
Slimy things are there
Fell in the water
Fell in the water
I suppose it doesn't matter
I fell in the water
Drowning in the depths
Drowning in the depths
Took my last steps
Now I'm drowning in the depths
See something shiny
See something shiny
Deep and dark and briny
See something shiny
There's treasure down below
There's treasure down below
Didn't want to go
But there's treasure down below
Up to the light
Up to the light
I swim up
Up towards the light
In the boat I go
In the boat I go
Hands full of gold
In the boat I go
Dripping and cold
Dripping and cold
I survived the sea
Dripping and cold.
