Another Fish Story

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
"You did that on porpoise!"  
Said Gus to his friend.
"A whale of a tale, Gus.
I never did offend.

You shore-ly do jest."
But Gus was current-ly
Coast-ing with duress.
"I now quite unhappily

See how easily you cave!
So, if 'island' on you,
Between the many waves,
What would you say and do?"
