He dreamt a dream of swimming

    up to see the sky above,

Lit up by the sun in colors

    he just knew he'd love.

But gnarbles never swam that high, their fins were much too 

small,Their tails were thin and floppy, which didn't help at 

all.

This gnarble liked his fins and had no problem with his 

tail,So when he woke he knew that he just couldn't, wouldn't 

fail.

But the other gnarbles warned him that he shouldn't swim so 

high, As did the blyfish family that always swam close by.

"No gnarble's ever swam that high, it simply isn't done,

A blyfish might just make the trip, but we know you're not 

one."

"Gnarbles don't have flappers like all us blyfish 

do,You don't even have koggers like the swimming 

gungaloo."

But the gnarble didn't listen and he left his friends 

behind.

No silly blyfish family could ever change his mind.

He swam up past the boulders made of spongy 

gishy-gosh,

And flew right by the herd of floating feeding fipple-

fosh. His fins were getting tired but he knew he couldn't 

stop,

So he kept swimming faster, trying hard to reach the 

top.

Just then a hungry warckel blocked the gnarble 

with his fin.

He grabbed him by his tail and brought him 

right up to his chin.

"I've never had a gnarble, this would be a tasty 

treat,

But you're much too thin and tiny for big old me 

to eat."

So the gnarble just kept swimming, and didn't 

dare to stop,

Until he heard the sound of a great big bubble 

POP!

He turned around to see that he was in 

a bit of trouble.

The sound he heard was that of a silver 

subbalubble.

The gnarble tried to hide somewhere 

that he could safely stay.

But the subbalubble saw him and was 

headed right his way.

Oh Mister Subbalubble, please 

don't eat me up for lunch,

I'll bring a yummy plant 

instead, for you to sit and 

munch."

"I've never seen a gnarble try 

to swim this high before.

What is it, little fishy, that 

you're up here looking for?"

"If I could see the sky just once, I'd be a 

happy fish.To do one flip above the waves 

would be my only wish."

"Well sorry silly gnarble, but I cannot let 

you go.

It's subbalubble dinner time--you should've 

stayed below."

The gnarble cowered back in fear and shook from fin to 

fin,

But then he saw a school of fish called shiny glimmy 

glin.

The glimmy glin swam right past the 

subbalubble's face,

And the gnarble grabbed a glimmy fin and 

quickly left that place.

The gnarble 

swam up higher 

still,until he saw 

some light.

He knew it had 

to be the sun 

and, oh was it a 

sight!
