The sea awaits , it beckons you to tell great whales of herring do But wait , I squidn't ink this through Pre-octopied , I've floudered too ! Far off sea horse , it's kelp I need I mollusk scared , anemone peers up at me from the abyss there's something very much a-miss Sea-gullible I shrimped and saved for this vacation o'er the waves I must have been some kind of nut to come here for the halibut They're groupered 'round menacingly on porpoise they are taunting me Star fish I may , Star fish I might not feed crustaceans tonight ! It will take quite a mackeral to save my lilly white sea-bass I hope Jaws has a belly-full 'cause I just saw him swimming past! But Marlin Perkins would be proud When I saw him I screamed so loud A Mermaid came to rescue me she called me " Chicken Of The Sea " ! Our love like algae soon did bloom King Neptune said " Go get a room !" But such a chowder-head was I I bid girl of my dreams good-bye The coral of this story's pretty much what you'd expect , Her oysters rocked me fellers , but she's still got my respect ! |

Doc, this reminds me of a song called "I lobster and I never flounder" that was written by Jim Haynes. I love them both! Dee |

Wayout , Nah , ol' Neptune and the rest of them gods already bestowed that on you ! but thanks anyway ! Doc Corrine , My day is a success if I've made someone laugh . This has been a good day , thanks ! Doc Marge , Yoor darn tootin'! Most fun I've had in a long time ! Gotta have it ! This is what I live for ! ( well that and a few other things ) Thanks as always , Doc Dee , Actually I remember a song like that , it was funny as he!! ( those are tooth-picks ). I'm sure that was part of the inspiration . My humor has been lacking a certain something lately , so I thought I'd do a little fishing . Thanks , Doc Voiceless , I can hear you much better than last time , I'm really glad you enjoyed this . If this made you smile , I'll sleep easier tonight , knowing that I've accomplished at least one thing today . Doc |

Hey Doc! Went fishing on page four and caught this whale of a tale. Thought I should drag it to the surface so everyone could take a better look. I'd call this one the catch of the day! Hmmmm... I just love Sushi. |
