Mr. Fee Somehow Forgot To Mention,
This Part of Our Epic Canadian Saga,
In His Poem - American Cousins in Nova Scotia.
Eleventh in the ‘Ed’ Series,
‘When We Ancient Eds Were-’
My ‘Ed’ Photo Albums Go Back a Long Ways,
And a Humorous Memory, They Sometimes Stir
“I Hereby, Right Now, Christen Thee, The Ancient Ed!”
Captain Edvard was real happy, as we three went to bed
At dawn, we sailed from Prince Edward Island
With great exuberance, on that Nova Scotia coast
We three Eds knew that by the time the sun had set
A record catch, our old Ancient Ed boat would boast
Our very good friend, Mr. Fee, had found us a real classic
He said she was sturdy, sea worthy, and so tried and true
Little did we know she also had a big old hole in her belly
Rememberin this Ed fishin tale, always makes us a little blue
We three brother Eds hadn’t gotten very far at all from the coastline
When Jersey yelled, “Uh, brothers, I think something is wrong.”
“Oh, quit complaining! You haven’t got yer salty old sea legs yet.”
Edvard joyously said, “Let’s sing real loud, an old classic song!”
As the three of us now burst into the classic old tune, Fun, Fun, Fun
The sturdy old Ancient Ed quickly started listing severely to her side
And, alas, very quickly, the three of us were now floatin in the water
And I, old Pee Wee Ed, started laughin, I just could not keep it inside
“This is no longer fun, fun, fun at all…” quickly yelled Edvard and Jersey
Alas, we three Brother Eds had lasted only a few minutes, as fishers of the sea
“So just what the hell are we gonna do now?” cried Brother Jersey Ed
“Why, let’s head over to Fee’s Bath House!” unbelievably, old Edvard said
“Huh??!!”
And We Eds did have Fun, Fun, Fun,
Until our old boat had quickly sunk away;
Our Friend, Mr. Fee, snapped this picture,
From his very fancy yacht, that comical day.
And a tad later, that very same evening,
Still enjoying his fine ‘Canadian Hospitality,’
We three Eds were arrested, at his Bath House,
And deported from Canada, by that crafty Mr. Fee.
(I think he told the RCMPs,
We had littered their coastline!)

Fee
you should have listened to me for sure
as if you did now we would still
be out at sea fishin' for wild abacore...
That guy Fee is a liar & a thief
We wouldn't be sufferin' all this grief
If you listened to me, like you never do
We would be out to sea fishin'
Rather than sinkin' on this canadian reef...
