to you they seem such useless things
not worth your time, much less than Kings
but listen to me as i sing
of all the good things ALGAE bring.

Algae come from seas so blue
some shimmer and sparkle and not a few
are a deep dark green almost black
and some float around in little packs.

they make you strong, they keep you young,
oh, yes, Algae are heroes unsung.
30,000 they number and more,
a great new world we need to explore.

they might help those ill with cancer and AIDS
and can defeat bacteria in antimicrobial raids.
they may help remember those who forget
and make minds sharper -- how cooler can you get?

oh dear Algae, so strong and true,
i wish i could be half as useful as you.

For a Greatness Thou Shalt Never Understand.
