A FISHY TALE

There were lime green ravens
In the rotted curdled sea
The bold fish all a'dying in
their flying bid for...free
All the lobster and the fine
crabs
Jumping up to meet the net
The jelly fish were cleverer
They laughed and wagered
bets, meanwhile...

The sea was pink in colour
And all the turtles they were
stoned
The mermaids starting
stripping, and jumping sailor
bones

The dolphins saw the chaos
And knew they had to act
This party was a nightmare so
The gods...
They all got sacked

They prompty called the wise
whales
Though, all the bastards did
was nap
Still... they were handy on the
muscle
And they wouldn't take no
crap

Well, the whales they called their friends, the sharks
Who were plumbers mates by
day
They promptly found the
cosmic tap, and... well...
The ocean drained away

Now, I know you're all
a'feared
And quite worried for the sea
But the last I heard, not all
was well
Though the penguins lie, so
it's hard to tell

And I'm only telling stories so
Don't put the blame on me
But if you stroll down by
the ocean
You'll likely find a fish for tea

It reads like a song, almost!  Especially this bit :

Now, I know you're all
a'feared
And quite worried for the sea
But the last I heard, not all
was well
Though the penguins lie, so
it's hard to tell

The whole poem reminds me of something which should've been in Alice In Wonderland. I love the nonsensical mixed with the harsh reality of our seas in peril. This is a fun and a bouncy read with a bit of darkness lurking between the lines. I love this a lot but I do have to ask, "Have you been smoking something, Marion?" And if so, do you have a little you could spare?  (Asking for a friend)...

Only joking!  Seriously though, this is fabulous and I love it lots 👏👏👏 ⚘x

P.S..... I have awarded a bucket load of starfish for this amazingly brilliant write. (Love those lying Penguins) xx
