There once was a Lineatus Clown Tang,
With colors that made hearts go bang!
It's a master of disguise,
And its skin can mesmerize,
As it gracefully swims with a sprang!

To switch up its hues with no apparent protest.

From yellow to blue with a thrill,
And its beauty's hard to digest!

And brighten up your day,
And keep you in awe, never tiring!

Fascinating to view,
And easy to pursue,
It's truly a marvelous addition!
