H.G. Peterson is the world’s first subaquatic poet, having written over eighty three percent of all his works while playing checkers at the bottom of the Java Sea.

Eurasia is quite immense
It goes from Lisbon to Beijing
With mountains, deserts, fjords and steppes
It is the greatest land mass thing

Africa sitting right below
Home of Sahara and Nile
Elephants, giraffes and lions
Live on this land in much style

North America is quite nice
For it has the Great Plains and Lakes
Panama to Baffin Isle
Sweetest area for Christ sakes

To South America we come
With The Enigma, Nazca lines
And its quite mighty Amazon
Which is a jungle full of vines

Australia, once home to crooks
Features marsupials, all types
Ayer’s Rock, Outback and wombats
And Ned Kelly the guttersnipe

Last Antarctica the frigid
Where amok all the penguins run
Here you’ll find McMurdo Station
And that there Weddell Sea’s quite fun
