Such a Mystery Is a Fish

Such a mystery is a fish I wonder how a fish can pish Then there's the matter of sleep at night Does a fish have eyelids to block out sight? Don't even ask me how they mate For I've never seen one on a date And as for where they hang their hats Go find a fish who knows where he's at So, as we consider this thorny puzzle--- Hey, wait a sec! ~ I just saw two fish nuzzle!

The question is, which comes first -- the nuzzle or the guzzle?

I don't know how they mate either but I did see a fish the other day blowing bubbles. :) This was fun my friend.

Come on! I can't tell whether or not you're pulling my leg here. Either way, I can just picture it: Did the fish look like Don Knotts in "Mr. Limpet?" ~ gw
