Strange Fish

“He’s a strange old fish“, the Cap’n said As he stood on deck and scratched his head “What say you men, what shall we do” He asked the members of his crew “Hang him from the mizen mast Or tie him up, good and fast, then Forty lashes with the cat Does everyone agree with that” The crew then pondered for a while Until the Bo‘sun forced a smile “Now Cap’n that seems rather tough I think the poor mans had enough He’s not a bad man or a sinner His only crime is burning dinner So lets just let him off the hook Cos’ no one else on board can cook” © John W Fenn 01-08-2009
