I had to write an oceanography themed poem on my timed Oceanography test. My knowledge of poetry is limited to limited to haiku, limericks, and iambic pentameter. So you work with what you know. Without further ado, I give you this hastily written literary splendor

Bathymetry Haiku

Bathymetry is the measuring of the sea How low can it go?

First they used a rope to measure the oceans depth that takes way to long

Then Echo Sounders Ping Ping Now you know the depth This is much faster

Even using a multi-beam system to map One centuries time

The eye in the sky could be used to map the sea how, is the question?

Distortion of Sea lets Satellites measure the depths of the ocean
