I wear a helmet, rugged and brown, From towering palms I tumble down. Crack my shell, hear water sing, A hidden lake in a wooden ring. White snow hides beneath my coat, Island treasure, sailor’s note.

In the heart of Zeus's fury dost dwell, Whirling dervish of chaos to tell, A dance most wild, Spinning beguiled, In Athena's eye, thou'lt surely befell.

Upon a head, a branching crown, Shed yearly, then regrown, What bony structure's widely known?

I’m up there in the sky But you can’t easily spot me with my naked eye Without me, the sun would make everyone die Now, can you figure out what am I?

In my legs, I find my fame, Emerald skin, I play the game. From lily pads, I often sing, To ponds and streams, I bring the spring.
