Ode to a Newbie Reefer

Loving the ocean
You think reefing is the potion

Old Reefer refrain: Stupid newbie how dare you tread here

Oh what a cute little yellow fish
Ripped from its Hawaiian home on a humans wish

Old Reefer refrain: Stupid newbie don’t tell us what we can take

But wait; let’s get it a tangy friend
Oh no, it’s got the mange…3 fish friends dead…bye my little nemos

Old Reefer refrain: Stupid newbie we told you to quarantine the infected life we sold you

I can save my precious sea kittens for the cost of this month’s groceries
Why does everything look horrible all of a sudden?

Old Reefer refrain: Stupid newbie you obviously didn’t calculate the molarity correctly

Watch youtube and all the beautiful fluorescent creatures available
Watch their other videos on how to get rid of pests…in their tanks!?

Old Reefer refrain: Stupid newbie didn’t we already mention QUARANTINE?

Alas, the newbie reefer has no more money to spend on a losing battle
And no more tears to shed for the life they couldn’t save.

But still, the Old Reefers remain​
