Letter to the catfish

Tell  catfish, " she's aquatic " 

               Water is her abode

Let her know also

                        "Tilapia is aquatic but bony

And breathes water"

Some days she  may 

             make 

                     a  

                         delicious

                                        meal

But she must not 

                          eat herself before she's eat'n

For Heaven may change his mind

And the eaten 

                        shall be the eaters!
