Seafood scramble

Shell fish, Shell fish I see you on my plate

Ha ha look at that one of your buddies got ate…

Mr. Clam tasted yummy as he slid down my tummy

Hmmm… who’s next? This little shrimp looks good

Guess Mr. Lobster won’t get his car fixed

Seeing the shrimp is no longer under his hood

Mr. Haddock you smell nice,

Hope Mrs. Haddock don’t mind

Cause you won’t be picking up your wife

What a lovely feast a seafood platter can be.

I hope it didn’t hurt when they cooked you for me

Wonder what sushi tastes like I heard the food was still alive

In my town we have the shellfish police…

Could you go to jail, for eating the little guys?

I wonder if shellfish police have a court system too

Is it to benefit shellfish or others like shamoo?

Can a sword fish get maximum penalty for stabbing its food?

Can a fish get a speeding ticket?

Or schools of them get arrested for starting a riot?

Or a sea snail get caught littering

When they move from their old shell to a new one?

Can a shark be jailed for eating its own kind?

Or a mother turtle for child endangerment

When she leaves her little ones to hatch on the beach behind

This is all so very strange to me

To have a police force specifically for all the shelly fish in the sea
