Holy shit! The Caspian Sea

Holy shit! The Caspian Sea
is home to a wide range of species!

Known for its caviar and oil industries!
Pollution from oil industries and dams

on rivers draining into it
have harmed its ecology.
Oho, oh hell. Ah damn alas!  

The Caspian Sea!

Hoy-halloo! The Caspian Sea
is the largest inland body
of water on earth! It's salty
- about one-third
as salty

as full-on real oceans.

It exists 
in an endorheic basin, which means
basically water flows in, it don't flow out.
Swamps or evaporation do the job! Like
the Great Salt Lake, the Dead Sea, or
Lake Corangamite in Victoria! Ho! Holla!  

The Caspian Sea makes all of these 
look like a piece of shit, size-wise. 
It's huge. The biggest! The Caspian Sea! 

Still

The Indian Ocean
is probably over there, 
like "Go fuck yourself, 

Caspian. You're no Sea.
You're a fucking mildly-salty
lake, see?"  

The Indian Ocean 
's fucking huge, guys 

The Caspian Seas
of the world?
Are on a whole
other small scale next
to that Indian Ocean. 

Ohai Ohey!
I sing this praise! 
I sing these ways
for all these days,
in praise of the Caspian Sea! Ta-ha!
