Charlie Tuna
A few big Baracudas one day
had assaulted some fish “schools” at play.
Many fish bravely fought.
The most famous did not.
Charlie Tuna sped quickly away.
Charlie Tuna had been cowardly,
so the other fish asked him why he
swam away from the brawl.
“Don’t you know – after all -
I’m the chicken,” said he, “of the sea!”
