The Fisher



One day when I was at the sea, this old
Pelican said to me.
I love to fish. I love to fly. I love to
Take a dip. I love to catch those little
Fish and swallow them with a flip.
I love to turn around and turn around and
Shake my tail and flutter.
Now it's time to go and fly and fish, and
Dive into the water.
I love to fish. I love to fly. I love to
Take a dip. I love to catch those little
Fish and have them for my supper.
I love to turn around and turn around and
Shake my tail and flutter.
It's time to go, a kick, a step, I'm in the
Air, its time to leave the water.
Into the air into the sea a thousand times
Or more. Now you know why? I sit on this
Rock it is to rest upon the shore.
