Fishy Tale
Once upon a line
I tied a piece of cheese,
When along came a mousefish,
And nibbled as you please.
Well the next thing I know,
A Catfish comes along.
That poor little Mousefish
Never heard the dinner gong.
While Catfish licked her whiskers,
Pleased as fruity punch.
Along came a Dogfish,
GULP!
Catfish was his lunch.
Then I saw that Dogfish
Turn to chase his tail.
While swimming round in circles,
He didn’t see the whale.
I’m sure you just might think,
How this fishy tale will end.
But what happened next
Is hard to comprehend.
The whale opened wide
and the Dogfish gave a
YELP!
But no one was around
That would give him any help.
But then the big whale yawned
And said with a toothy grin.
“Don’t worry little Dogfish,
I’m a v e g e t a r i a n.”
