One that nibbled on lettuce and mushrooms.

That made the waves and pushed them onto the beach.

I thought there was an old lady under the underground
With a giant magnet that held us in place when we walk around.

That the moon is responsible for tides and gravity.
But Carlos read the science book, so we’ll have to believe
That thing in the sky has an effect on you and me.
