who is the guilty party

lucky the whale swallowed him whole as he fell overboard He was in his best suit, and his tie with a tiny clip of a sword You are the judge, the jellyfish king said into his head He had never been judge, this undertaker named Ned The fish were excited that a human was going to judge They wanted him to give up his gavel but he would not budge He had never had this honor before, and he liked it you see An undertaker named Ned who was swallowed by a whale under the sea Who is the guilty party? He asked, staring out at the gaping fish The only answers they gave him were bubbles and one tiny swish No one to judge he said to the jellyfish king, making him mad. That evil king stung Ned in the eye, making him totally sad.
