Martin Jameson Poet Light Verse

Watery Nonsense

One time a stickleback
Asked a tadpole what’s the craic
He replied there’s nothin’ doing
It’s just the water I was viewing

So he slurped a glass of gin
And let the stickleback begin
To swim upside down in loops
Until his eyes began to droop

I’m becoming very dizzy
Feels like the Mississippi
The stickleback then stopped
The tadpole’s eyes had nearly popped

The stickleback said sorry
Do you like calamari?
The tadpole then replied 
When I’m swimming with the tide

I find it can be chewy
It turns my tail real gooey
The stickleback said no way
It makes a rather nice buffet

They then said their goodbyes
And the stickleback advised
Calamari you shouldn’t swallow
Or trouble it will follow

Good luck and take it handy
Said the tadpole sipping brandy
The stickleback swam off
To have some beer and stroganoff
