Catfish Are Jumpin'

'Yond the fields 
      of golden whey 
 A mountains- grown 
      in grayish clay 
Near it's 'neath 
      a river flows 
On bedded rocks 
      green algae grows
 Catfish' treats- 
      a tasty bite 
They eat, they jump 
      into the night 
When morning's sun 
      begins to rise 
They jump again
      to catch 'em flies
