On Thursday, it was still raining,

and my sea serpent had grown.

"How big do sea serpents

get?" I asked him.

"We get as big as the ocean is deep,

and as long as the current is strong.

The big ones are as big

as a very small island;

the small ones are as big as a whale."

"Oh," I said. "That big."

By bedtime, my sea serpent was too large

for the fish tank, so I put him back in the tub.

"I wish I could still sleep next to your bed,"

he said when I kissed him good night.

That night I

heard him singing

his song about the creatures

of the deep blue sea,

and I sort of wanted it to be

sunny in the morning

and I sort of wanted it

to rain.
