Billy McCool

Billy McCool

by Aoife Mannix

Deep in the depths of a dark, dark pool
lives a water monster named Billy McCool.
With flourescent scales of pink candy ice
and eight octopus arms he thinks very nice.
With his giant hat sewn from a thousand umbrellas,
he considers himself quite the handsome fellow.
His tie has bright yellow stripes that glow in the dark,
he carries a cane of oyster pearls just for a lark,
his jacket is one hundred percent silver fish,
his shirt is sewn from the finest caviar dish,
his shoes are black patent seaweed with periwinkle tassle,
it takes him four hours to dress but it’s all worth the hassle,
for when he swims out from his deep dark cave,
he knows all the girls will rave –
oh Billy McCool, you rule with your shark fin bling,
oh Billy McCool you’re quite the thing with your frog spawn ring,
oh Billy McCool you’re a monster with style,
please won’t you stay with us a while.
