Poetry for Sea Creatures Reciting Shakespeare



A crab and a fish were dancing in the Ocean
Oooooo that’s a bit odd thought a Whale
Who had stopped to watch the strange commotion?
“Well” . . . said the Whale to a passing dolphin
“You don’t see much dancing
Down on the ocean floor these days
And the last time I saw a crab pirouette
Was in one of those Shakespearian  Plays
I think it was . . . The Merry Waves of Winsor
Or maybe. . . Richard the Turbot
Or maybe it was. . . As you Pike it”
The crab then recited the famous lines

AH alas poor jelly fish
I knew him well
But he has starting to decompose somewhat
And that is a rather nasty smell


And as the audience clapped and cheered
And molluscs cleared their throats . . . . 
The whole play was then ruined
By men passing in a small flotilla of small rowing boats . . . .
Singing of Pirates
Drinking strong beer
And telling of the sea monsters
That the sailors all fear

You see the crab went off in a huff
Saying Sailors are rubbish
And don’t like culture and stuff.
And besides
The winds getting up
And the sea is quite ROUGH
So I'm off under a rock
Because
I’ve had ENOUGH

    1. Well that is very kind of you to say so Miss Lily but sadly my poetry is in a very quite back water indeed.
