Hissi at the Beach

When the sun shines high and true
And the sea is a deep blue
There will never be
A pet with more glee
Than one that is a Hissi

The best terrain in the land
Its softness and heat
Makes slithering sweet
A joy that just can’t be beat

They travel down to the shore
For ocean fun they adore
Swaying side to side
Over waves they glide
With swimming skills they can’t hide

heir bodies cut through the sea
They dance through water with glee
For serpentine tails
Are better than sails
To weave swift watery trails

Some Hissi like to stay dry
Or have something else to try
So downwards they dig
A burrow not big
A soft den they jury-rig

Others prefer to dig deep
Looking for riches to keep
And keep it in mind
Whatever they find
Is shared with friends who are kind

Hissi have a skill that’s rare
With wings, they take to the air
With the same motion
Used in the ocean
They soar without commotion

Up in the skies they can scout
A sunny place to hang out
Then as if on cue
They’ll gather their crew
For a seaside barbecue

And when a Hissi needs rest
They’ll find a good place to nest
And when they are done
To wrap up the fun
They’ll bask and nap in the sun

So when you go to the beach
And want a friend within reach
Invite a Hissi
And soon you will see
The greatest joy there could be
