A Jolly Fisherman
In Rhyme for Children
The jolly old fisherman
Just had a dream
He was fishin' for mermaids
In this wide-shallow stream
He had fished for hours
And caught only a snag
Until the end of the day
When he reeled in a bag
The old plastic bag
Was covered in muck
And the jolly old fisherman thought
"Wow- that's just my luck"
Then he opened the bag
That was tightly concealed
With a letter inside
That he read and revealed
It read- "If you're fishing for mermaids
Then go fish in the sea
Go look for SpongeBob SquarePants...
"Cause that's where I'll be"
