If Fishes Were Wishes

If fishes were wishes I'd buy a net, and get myself out in a boat. I'd make it my goal to catch me a shoal I'd find somewhere unfished, and remote. I'd cast my net wide, over the side Then watch it sink 'neath the blue. I'd be happy enough, if I caught but one For darling, I'd give it to you.
