THE MARINE BIOLOGISTS DILEMMA 2

poem by: Graham Jenkinson
Written on Feb 13, 2017

Does a moon fish light the sea at night
Does a sun fish shine all day 
Is a clown fish really so funny
Does a monk fish really pray

Does a trigger fish hold a handgun
does a basking shark bask all the day 
Will a horseshoe crab bring you good luck
Is a jelly fish sweet would you say 

Would a nurse shark really nurse you 
Does an angler fish have rod and reel 
Does the sea horse run in a race 
Is a sea-lion a lion or a seal 

Just how strong is a mussel
Is the plaice in the place it should be 
Does a skate do tricks on a skateboard 
How much can a lamprey see 

Can a tuna fish tune a piano
Will a bishop fish help with your sins 
Can a parrot fish really talk back 
Does a sail fish have a mast and fins 

Are cherub fish really angelic 
Can they help to find a lost shoal 
Would an aspirin help out the hake
Can the cobbler fish mend a sole ????
