In a murky Mexican lake, Where the water’s cool and opaque, Lived a creature quite unique, With a smile that’s always meek.

With gills that flutter and sway, And a tail that helps it play, The axolotl is a sight, That fills the heart with delight.

In the depths it likes to hide, Where the light cannot abide, But when it comes up for air, Its beauty is beyond compare.

With eyes that sparkle and shine, And a body that’s so divine, The axolotl is a wonder, That makes our hearts beat like thunder.

So if you ever get the chance, To see this creature’s dance, Take a moment to behold, The axolotl, brave and bold.
