O'OPU (Rainbow Garden)

O'opu likes to swim
In the fresh water stream,
It likes to swim all day
At night it likes to dream,

O'opu uses it's fin
To form a suction cup,
To help it climb, climb up rocks,
Moving up, up, up,
Lighten up!
Once O'opu reaches the top,
It hops into the water,
"Kerplop!"
Hops into the water,
Like a "belly-flop!"
