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.
