A Jolly Fisherman

One slushy day, a Jolly fisher fishes a wishing well, where he knows splashy fish is. For Princess Tricia's favourite dish is, a plate of little squishy fresh whitefishes; and Tricia gets all she ever wishes. Too selfy selfish to accept shellfishes, Dogfish, Catfish, or even some Swordfishes; and despite her mother's pushy tisch tisch tisches, a plate of little squishy fresh whitefishes, is all that Princes Tricia ever wishes. The dashing, raffish, jolly fisher's wish is by fishing for the squishy fresh whitefishes, surely he should switch Tricia's fishy wishes; then introduce and show some swisher dishes.

Thank you, I have added some commas to help and tidied up the last two lines; so glad you found it fun.
