Little Fishes

Little fishes
Hide in the dirty pond
Waiting for something interesting
A worm
Or a minnow
Just something flashy
It's all the same

With a tiny
Teeny tiny
Itsy bitsy
Microscopic brain
It doesn't take much
To awe and entertain

Sixteen trout and
Thirteen bass and
One lone little perch fish
All wait in the murky
Muddy depths of
Farmer Frederick's
Acre pond

Till one morning
Just this morning
A little girl and
Two little boys
Threw in worms on
Three hooks hoping
To catch a fish for lunch

But the fish were
Way too smart for
Those three hungry little kids
They flexed and
They finned and
Set free all three worms

Now in that pond there
Things are jumping
The worms they were a trio
Making song while
The fish dance
Every night and
Every day
