Charlie's New Ballad - No More Chicken of the Sea

The lawsuit by StarKist is valid.
Their long time promoter’s new ballad
warns fish to stay clear
of fisherman’s pier,
or end up in somebody’s salad!

I've often said if wishes were fishes we wouldn't eat tuna! Absolutely delightful dear friend! A real "lyric" gem! Congratulations! But if the truth be told I really prefer chicken salad over chicken of the sea - sigh!

I had images of the fish community organizing a rally to warn their members about the dangers at fisherman's pier. Great work, Andrea. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
