Crowd gathered at the pier
Subdued Victorian jubilation
Crows squawk above
As flashes puff
To take pasty faced daguerrotypes
Of the adventurers
A pedal powered submarine
To Atlantis' Sister City
Fat kid loses his icecream scoop
Jaw drops mid-lick
Mouth agape as the iron cigar sinks
Air bubbles pop from the surface
Like a fart in the bath
Deepsea diver lowered
To check all's well
As a shot rings out
Banners, parasols and balloons
Blow in the ocean breeze
Brass Band oompahs on the rotunda
As the event becomes yesterday's news
Three weeks later the headline
Scientist Locates Lost City!
Still Inhabited
Though More A Large Town
Man Has Devolved
Into Creature With Gills
And a waterlogged ink sketch
Provided as proof
Wild scenes break as the
Geographical Society
Hammer it out tooth and claw
In court
With the Church
Furious letters to the editor ensue
Royal Navy debating
Whether to retaliate first
What's to be done?
And where's Ken Russell when you need him?
