Sitting on the beach
Suddenly I found a leech.
I used that for bait
And then I caught eight!
Blurp Blurp Blurp went the big black bass
It was dying so I laid it in the grass.
As soon as it was good and dead
I fried it up with butter and bread.
My stomach growled for more to eat
So I went to the store and bought some meat.
With the meat I cooked up a feast
I even shared it with a wildebeest.
The sun was setting in the sky
The moon looked like a piece of pie.
It was time to go to bed
So I yawned and laid down my head.
