want to meet a blowfish

to my table the Matre ’dee
brought a blowfish to me
fish was wearing rainbow shades
he said he’d caught him in the Everglades

Do you like to live on the edge?
I looked for a place to hide- a bush, a hedge.
The blowfish stuck his tongue out at me.
Sure, I’ll take a chance I said to the Matre ‘Dee
