you have to change your attitude

grumpy humpy dumpy lumpy fish
was too grouchy to be a willing dish
you could be décor, his daddy said
a fish on the wall, scratching your head

you just have to change your attitude
be more joyful and you’ll make good food
he changed his attitude, and none too late
making fine dining on a dinner plate
