Er....I got a wee bit carried away.
Nursery Rhyme for Coelacanth
The sharks swam over the typhoon
The sharks swam over the moon
The sharks shook their deadly fin
At my coffee spoon.
The dolphins were in doldrums
Because the dolphins had been barred
The dolphins wanted to see the world
But they got stuck between the stars
The mighty whale was watching
He licked his lipid lips
Let those crazy fool sharks leap about
And those dipsy dolphins dip.
I catapult under the ocean waves
I wave my mighty belly fin
I dance above the ocean floor
Where sunlight can't enter in.
The shark licked up the coffee spoon
With a toothy sugary grin
That made the dolphins throw hula hoops
Drool dropping down their slurpy chins!
The steely shark flip flopped, baring brazen jaws
What in the world is this?
Men will be men and birds will be birds
When shall these fish be Fish?
Grr..... Bazooka, you snarky shark
First learn your biology!!
We be mammals, though of the oceans deep
And your ignorance makes us weep.
We need to be prepared ready and all
To conquer land air and stand up tall
Fin be feet and fish fingers grow
Lo and behold, the Dolphins blow!
The smarmy shark licked his pinkish chops
By my life I have never heard such caterwauling
I'm a true fish of the ocean deep
You mammals from land came crawling...
Forgetting your roots you go woot woot woot
You forget that even the cow jumped over the moon
If you don't stop this nonsense rhyme
I will beat you with this raucous spoon.
My poetic license I stand to lose
But by this ditty true I staunchly choose
To stand by shaking in my soggy shoes...
Here the wonky whale the dolphin and the shark
Me attacked
We don't wear shoes
And have no feet that sweat
You whacky tacky
pseudopoetic poet.
