Three Fishes

Fishes are of three sorts
One goes nowhere near fishers nets

Swims the seas merrily
Monarchs verily

'nother sort gets caught
But like lightning jumps off

`There goes a big one' say folks
Not bad these, in a trice wakes

But a third sort, a lousy one
Caught, it buries itself down

Dreaming to be safe and able
Ends up on gentlemen's table

If we can't contrive to be ever-free
Let's be all alert and jump off into our sea.
