Fishlike

Bravery comes in many forms
and many an occupation.

The fireman’s game to put out the flame
and goes hurrying out of the station.

The detective will sleuth to uncover the truth
and solve the unsol…

A large plate of slimy raw oyster

Not a meal about which I’d boister

I’ll take the pearl and you’ll think me a foister

But I’ll give you the part that’s goopy and moister

Let me tell you about the flounder

He’s a fish that’s more flat than he’s rounder

And it gets even stranger than that

The fact that he’s perfectly flat

See he lives down upon the sea bed

From the Pac…

Now the seahorse is suitably named

For his long, noble nose

And his beautiful mane

And these elegant creatures

Have some virtuous features

Of which no wife could ever complain

You see he’s monogamous…

The crab’s a crustacean of great variation
With numerous species in every nation.

There are King crabs and Soft shells
And Red Rocks and Dungeness
And Stone crabs and Blue shells
And many other ones I gu…

Today I witnessed some magic

From the deck of a Cape Island boat

The magician was purely pelagic

And he sang me a beautiful note

He came out of nowhere so wild and so free

The unfettered spirit of tr…

Flying fish, swimming birds?

The craziest thing I’ve ever heard.

Look at me daddy square in the eye

And tell me that it’s not a lie.

Yes my dear as sure as I’m seein’

I saw fish fly in the Caribbean.…

Pity the poor skelpin

If you caught one I’m sure you’d be yelpin’

An uglier fish

Never sat on a dish

And who would ask for a second helpin’

The squid is a fast as a blink

If you’re trying to catch one I think

When your fishing boat’s landed

You will be empty handed

Except you’ll be covered in ink

There once was a fish called the Cod

Which at one time was common as sod

But the fishermen caught ‘em

And the fish eaters bought ‘em

Now to catch one is really quite odd

Octopus, please, let me explain why

A group of you aren’t known as octopi.

It is my etymological nature

To right these wrongs of nomenclature.

Know when a Roman, of your phylum speaks,

You were not n…

My wife has an issue with kelp

I think she needs professional help

When we swim in the sea and a piece breaks free

If it even comes near her she lets out a yelp

But, then she will go to the spa

To be…

Consider the Clownfish

He’s an up not a down fish

As he swims on the Coral reef

Dressed in orange and white

For both day and night

He must be happy

That’s my belief

Hungrier fishes see a tempting mor…

Starfish why?
Oh, do tell me why

Do you have five arms?
That’s three more than I.

But the question it begs is
Are two of them legses?

Take the common jellyfish
He’s not unfair or sellyfish
He bobs on the current
Aggressive he weren’t
To other sea creatures and smellyfish
But to cross his navigation
Amounts to self-flage…

The shark is a creature
A fish we might feature
And call him King of the Sea
Which eats more or less
And it’s only a guess
Pretty well constantly
It eats smaller fishes
And would likely eat dis…

Looking at the canvas
I wondered why
I don’t suppose
anyone will buy
But I will create
it’s what I do
not just for me
not just for you
it’s in my blood
it is my life
it is my lover
it is my w…
