Humble Sea Urchin

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Humble Sea UrchinEgg fertilized
Two, four to 64
(Two to the sixth power)
Cell to larvae in hours

Hedgehog creature
Of the ocean floor
Many a tube feet
No legs or hands, it seems

Feeding on algae
Preyed on by cousin starfish
Eaten by crabs, wolf eels
Snails and sea otters

Your roes, a must have
A delicacy in sushi-land
No eyes to shed tears
Just spines that leave a mark
