I have a dear pet; he's aquatic,
And getting to be quite sclerotic.
But if he ever dies,
There'll be more than just sighs!
I just might become a neurotic!

I'm not a great fan of the pike.
I once had one I didn't like.
It burst into flames
And called me rude names,
Then it followed me home on a bike.

There was an old lady called Sue,
Who kept piranahs inside her loo.
They'd eat anyone,
Bite a hole in your bum,
And bite off your dangly bits too!

The piranhas are suffering from tabes,
Foaming and biting like crab-ese.
Like white blood corpuscles
Flexing little white muscles,
Fighting hard but infected with rabies.

There's nothing like a piranha;
It's only fiat,
A catholic diet.
It eats both the native and bwana.

Saw himself as the contests new winner.
But he made a mistake
And fell into the lake;
The piranhas took home a nice dinner.

Who angled one morning for tolga.

With red carpet slippers,
And chiefly inhabit the Volga.

REMORA make old salt see red,
From hook they are rapidly shed
To drift to sea bed
So crabs can be fed;
This attitude toward them's widespread.
--- Marilyn M.

They resemble the sole of a Ked;
Looks quite like an old tire tread.
Be they live or quite dead,
From REMORAs I've fled,
Seeking bluer waters instead.
--- Marilyn M.

REMORA, called tennis shoe head,
A catch Texas fisherman dread
To see on their line
On a fishing day fine,
Profanity never left unsaid.
--- Marilyn M

REMORA announced with some pride,
Attached to a shark's underside,
"This big finny beast
Is a movable feast,
So I'll just go along for the ride."

Symbiotic fish, the REMORA,
Clings to some big fish like flora,
To pick up detritus,
Not at all to bite us,
Though it does have a sinister aura.

Who claimed he served both God and Mammon.
But please understand,

When he talked this nonsensical gammon.

Perhaps no feelings should be felt.

That cooks to a nice dish;
I'm not sure if it's fat, flat, or svelte.

"And a minnow does not catch my eye.

Do not make a dish,
And I know there are big fish to fry."

If there's a fillet of soul, then it's true,
That the soul has a fillet -- some clew!
Though it does seem incredible
That the soul should be edible,
I think it's convincing, don't you?

That she needed a pretty pink lotion
To keep her skin soft,
But it kept washing off,
Cause she lived in the watery ocean.

While guarding a female he'd mated,

And aquamarine, the same hue,
Both stem, as they oughta,
From aqua from water;
The stuff that the pisces swim through.

And ate him up just like a ham.

Turned out to be three small piranha.

To be sure you succeed,
Show it pictures of old Alan Clark.

Made its way 'round the bend--
And sprang up from out of the loo.

To inquire of his father,
When you've once seen the size of his maw.

Lurked in ocean depths very dark;
Until he caught a glimmer
Of a poor hapless swimmer,
Then his razor-sharp teeth hit their mark.

Have no fear of the man-eating shark.

On a honeymoon cruise, a young bride,
One morning fell over the side.
A shark drifting near
Wondered what is that here,
And slowly towards her did glide.
--- Tiddy Ogg

She floundered and flounced in the water,
But the shark only did what he oughter;
With his great dorsal fin,
Hooked under her chin,
He did what he could to support 'er.
--- Tiddy Ogg

He came where the ship was now moored;
She was very soon hoisted aboard.
In her joy there were tears,
And a shout of "Three cheers!"
"Hurrah!" all those passengers roared.

To the side of the boat came the skipper
And bowed. The shark raised a flipper,
Knocked that man off the boat,
Right into his throat,
And swallowed him down like a kipper.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Is less a killer, more a teacher.
Not a bone in its frame;
We should not defame
Its grin in our next creature feature.

To the feeling that's there,

And the shark had detected the motion
Of someone like me,
(As you can see)
Splashing around in ITS ocean.

To the sharks just the smell
Is a shark's dinner bell.
Open jaws, start the run, then whammy!

Their forces the seven sease span;
But some sharks are selective
Or perhaps they're defective,
For on Fridays, they never eat man.

Said, "Cut me a caper, --
It's a year since I've had a good laugh!"

Jumped over a cow and her calf;

And we know he does nothing by half;
We can understand how
He might jump o'er a cow,
But he'd never jump over a calf.

Told the animals, "Get lost, can't you see.

Jake was a real tall giraffe;
His neck measured a mile and a half.
He sure couldn't gloat
When he got a sore throat;
It was terribly painful to laugh.
--- Nancy Henry-Kline P9306

The giraffe is a marvelous beast;
He is short from the West to the East.
But from North at his mouth,
To his tummy, down South.
It's a ten-minute swallow, at least.

The problem with any giraffe
Is their neck is so long, when they quaff,
The liquid dries out
So close to the snout,
They might as well be drinking De-caff.
