The Sardine

The Sardine (How the best laid plans can sometimes go wrong) The Sardine is an unusual fish, It spends all its life in a tin On top of a Superstore shelf So other fishes cannot get in. But their plan was not so ingenious As they sooner or later found out They left the opener on the outside Now the Sardines cannot climb out. 01/16/18

Ha! The best-laid plans of mice, men, and sardines....High-brow humor, ala the "New Yorker" magazine in its heyday.
