Spawning In Spring
In spring, salmon spawn in rivers, swimming upstream.
The male salmon (Cock), battle for the female,(Hen) of desire.
While the Cocks are fighting, the young silver males, (Jack), sneak into the female nest, taking his pick.
Spawning in Spring
In spring virile Cocks battle to win,
The heart of a Hen, waiting for him
But to his surprise
A Jack in disguise
Raided her nest; went off fin in fin.
