To the Crew and Passengers of the Minnow
To the skipper, first mate, and passengers of the Minnow,
there is this little something I think you should know:
Considering the world and the shape it is in today,
on that little island of yours, I think you should stay.

A Minnow In My Soup
Waiter waiter!

Waiter waiter
Not one swimming

Something for another creature to eat
Farther up the food chain
I would love to catch a five-pound minnow

I could see the headlines “Man catches five-pound minnow,

Mechanics who claim to fix your car and your problems,
Nymphomaniacs who can be kept eeeeeeasily aroused in what you say, and
Ostentorians who will help you be a good listener while standing decibels away.
Politeness and tact with all are the keys.
