Freshwater Jellyfish

Craspedecusta sowerbii
In the Cnidaria phylum,
AKA hydromedusae,
Freshwater jellyfish, in sum.
We like to show up unannounced,
Catching a ride on what we can,
Till in some water we are bounced.
Tiz not a real well thought out plan.
The locals kinda get freaked out
When they first get a peek at us,
'Fraid they're gonna get stung, no doubt -
But just if we can eat the cuss.

We're only about one inch big,
So don't do the human lunch gig.
