The Jewfish and the Gentile
Said the scuba diver to the grouper, "My, you're quite a dish!
How about you and me 'hooking' up is my most fervent wish!"
"You have the cutest freckles on your face and, oh, those lips!
Won't you nibble on my ears and give me some tingly nips?"
Said the grouper to the scuba diver, "Avast, ye land lubber!
I've heard that line before and I don't want to hear your blubber!"
"Don't give me that old fish eye! I'm not taken in by your guile!
And besides, matey, I'm a jewfish and 'tis obvious you're a gentile!"
