Apology to Dr. Seuss)
.
One fish, Two fish, Three fish, and Four fish
We urge customers to eat more fish
Some fish have small crunchy bones
These we eat with cream cheese on scones
Other fish we sell could hurt you
Their sharp bones would exsanguinate you
My! To name all the types of fish we sell
Would take a full week or two to tell
So many fish, such diverse uses
All with Omega-3 in their juices
Yes, eat our fish, and if not wealthy
You will at least be very healthy
Take your pick from bins packed with ice
You are bound to pick a fish or two that’s nice
Some are big and though some might seem small
We are very sure you’ll like them all
So go fix fish for your kids and granddad
For which they will we promise be quite glad!

This is Brussels not Seattle, Ma’am, if you want fish thrown at you you’ll have to go down to the red light district, but it’ll cost you!
