MARINE BIOLOGISTS DILEMA

poem by: Graham Jenkinson
Written on Feb 12, 2017

Does a lungfish really breathe 
Does an archer fish hold a bow 
Does an arrow fish have a quiver 
Can a Blow fish really blow 

Can a banjo fish play a rhythm 
Does a Bombay duck have a bill 
Does a bearded fish have a goatee 
Can a Killifish really kill 

Does the bass fish have a deep sound
Can a bat fish really fly 
Is the blob fish just an ugly blob
Can a ghost fish give you a fright 

Is the blue shark really unhappy 
Can a nurse shark make you better 
Can a butterfly fish flutter by 
does a pencil fish write a letter 

Is the coffin fish an undertaker 
Can a puffer fish be out of breath 
Does the hammer head hammer in nails 
Does the undertaker fish bring death 

Does a gibber fish just talk rubbish 
Can a frog fish swim and hop 
Is the toad fish all slimy and warty 
does the electric ell give you a shock 

Does a football fish play soccer
Is the Hag fish really a witch 
Does the grouper fish live alone 
Can a tailor fish really stitch
