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
