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.
