Just a Fun Catfish

Come dive down into my fishy world come swim under the sea with me deep down from the sun, to the bottom rung we’ll have fun if you come, you'll see. Even though I'm a slow, lowly catfish just a vacuum cleaner with gils I love wriggling my scraggly whiskers about as I sift through the sand for my meals. While I scrape along the ocean floor I make plenty of watery clouds they help me to hide as I dart about so I try to be quiet, not loud. They say I'm pretty tasty to eat I don't want to get caught on a hook that would really ruin my fishy day got my cat eyes on, better look! I've already lost Louie to Cajun Bob who fried him up for dinner last week luckily I don't purr like a loud, land cat promise not to squeal, you're too sweet! Written on 5/10/2018

You have described a catfish to a T, I am sure you have grabbed them up and eaten them too!
