Cnidaria

the jellyfish explained

Image ~ January 31, 2024February 1, 2024 ~ jim clayton ~ Leave a comment

a jellyfish is basically living goop

a giant contact lens crossed with a hoop

its digestive tract justly famous

one end mouthparts, one end anus

pretty much water (explains the lassitude)

legs like lassoes it uses with attitude

technically speaking a kind of cnidarian

(for pronunciation ask a librarian)
