A fishy story
They caught me; they pulled me out of the water,
said something about, “he’s too small” and then, threw me back.
Two weeks after that they caught me again, they pulled me out of the water,
said something about, “he’s too small” and then, threw me back.
Two weeks latter they caught me yet again, they pulled me out of the water,
said something about, “he’ll do, he’s just big enough”
and left me to die.
And here I am now 'a ghost’ telling this fishy story.
